He's got an Auto Revuenon 55/2 in his other auctions, so I bet that's it.

(Which was just a rebadged CE-1 according to Wiki, which brings us back to Chinon.)

Talking of fakes I've seen a few of these (Subarus?) running about

It reminded me of those M42 Chinons with the incredibly long shutter button that did the stop down and meter thing before it fired the shutter.

That's a fake I could love for the right price. It's cute!

I see that "Pentax" i marked unsold. I guess those interested in Pentax cameras know their Pentax history. He should have put a Canon or Nikon badge on it. It would have been sold by now, then.

No, but it's not as obvious as this "possible" fake -

YN-3 is the price: 3 Yen

If he had put Leica and a red dot on it, it would have sold for sure.
