I picked up a Leica DRP 35mm camera along with some reloading items at an estate sale. I understand that there are a large number of Russia fakes out there. I own Leica binos and a Televid 77 spotter and I am familiar with Leica quality. This camera certainly is very well made and upto what I consider Leica qualiity. In any case, what are the main ways to identify these Russian copies?

If you would like, call me on Monday with the serial # and I will check it out for you
