Russian Leica II Copies

Shutterbug Strasse

A photographer's haven for the lastest in digital or traditional film cameras.

I'm holding my breath waiting for a "Leica II" from Moscow. I'm wondering if anyone knows much about the manufacture of these "relics"? The condition of mine is "excellent" but many others listed in Ebay say "new". A lot of different models are available with Leica typeface and not the usual Russian cryllic. Some have the 3rd Reich eagle and designations such as "luftwaffe" or "kriegsmarine". This leads me to believe they may be in current production and aimed mostly at our market as "collector" pieces.
I'm not a very serious photog as my digital and 35mm SLR hardly get touched--but this camera looks like fun and a good learning tool for getting a grasp of guessing/making manual exposures.
Any insights appreciated.
