The nearest camera I can find details of is one of identical appearance which is a Super Frankarette LRII, and in pictures of this the engraving reads "Super Frankarette" Were there two versions or did somebody's hand slip- I can hardly think that a Franka would be worth forging. The camera is similar to my Retina IIS, but not quite so well made, see the picture attached Tom Mann   Msiegel Tinkerer Username: Msiegel Post Number: 33 Registered: 03-2008 Rating: N/A Votes: 0 (Vote!)

I found one on this site (without picture) http://www.photographica-world.de/f.htm According to the site it's value is a little bit below the various Super Frankarette models.
