There go those spurious characters again.
The camera on Mr. Gandy's site is one from Russian Souvenirs. I have
one of the fake Leicas made by the same shop, and it is silky smooth.
Far above the rest of the pack in quality. This shop has made a lot of
fake prototypes as well as fake cut away cameras. Whoever they are,
they are real craftsmen.
