I did get my "Leica II" . . .

and ran a roll of color prints through it. They came out okay as I have no light meter and had to guess with those funky f/stops and shutter speeds.

The camera seems to be working with the exception of what looks like internal fingerprints on the rangefinder and viewfinder. It doesn't prevent using the camera but it is distracting. I wrote the seller in Moscow and referred to my camera as "new" rather than "used excellent". He said it may very well be fingerprints.

The "new" comment made me wonder if someone is still making them? The ones sold from USA addresses are sold as new and all have 3rd Reich engravings of some sort. The one I have is marked Leica with none of 3rd Reich markings. I'm not sure how old it is or who made it. It is a nice looking conversation piece, though.
