Re: Request information of an Exakta Varex IIa Engraving
Can you get a picture of the camera with the logo on it?
Re: Request information of an Exakta Varex IIa Engraving
I´ll try but as its engraved on the leatherette of the bottom next to the "Made in Germany" it´s difficult to see it correctly

Sorry for the late reply. My guess is it is some type of special edition but I was unable to find another like it. Send a picture to Tamarkin auction and see if they have any idea. Hope you are able to figure it out and please let us know what you find out!

I thought that I read somewhere that this is a quality label that was assigned in the former East Germany to some cameras that were more thoroughly inspected (Gütezeichen 'Q1') you could check with the Exakta circle (http://www.exaktacircle.org/).

Here is a link with a description: the sign was apparently also used on other manufactured products https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%BCtezeichen_(DDR)
