A man who thought he had a priceless Leica used by the Nazis at the 1936 Olympics was informed that the golden camera was in fact a dud.
and informed the expert that he had bought the camera for $600 from an antique center nearby in Lincoln, England.
“Because quite often, which is unfortunately the case, is that things that look really good sometimes turn out to be a bit too good to be true. “And what I discovered was, these were being faked. Now what we have here is, what I feel is, a fake. Let me explain why it has some problems.”Allum then proceeded to point out the signs that the Leica is fake including that it has a five-digit serial number when Leicas generally have six-digit serial numbers. And the five-digit serial number on the fake actually corresponds with a Leica IIIa.
Allum was regretful that he had disappointed the man who stood there dumbfounded, likely thinking about the 600 bucks he wasted on the fake Leica.
