Fototecnica Herman Olympic Luxus Gold 18KR italian rangefinder camera Leica copy made in Italy rare only 10 made

Herman Olympic GOLD-Plated is embossed 18KR in two different areas. The camera was actually made by Fototecnica, in Torino Italy in 1955. The Olympic is characterized by a classical logo, the olympic five circles, because in 1956 the Olympic Games were in Italy. Ten were made (from serial 11001 to 11010, this one is the serial 11009 so is the 9th made) and given to celebrities of the time, the day of the presentation of the camera. The shutter is firing well at all speeds, also slow speeds sound good at my ears. The camera is in good nice shape please see the pictures. The lens is a Super Special lens 50 mm f 1: 3,2 and it is clear and clean with no scratch or fungus inside. The rangefinder is precise and has contrast. The focusing is smooth. The camera comes with its wooden box. Great for your collection.
