KGB Spy-Camera in Doctor's Case

KGB Spy Camera outfit built into a doctor's bag. This remarkable spy outfit dates from the late 1950s and uses a Moskwa-5 camera (Zeiss Super Ikonta copy). It takes pictures through an ingeniously concealed hole in the side of the bag. Electric release, perfectly hidden in the bag's handle. As the Moskwa was a very conventional camera without a motor drive, its central shutter had to be cocked before the being released, this is done by pulling a small steel cord next to the handgrip. A very unusual design. Comes with a photocopy of the original (Russian) instructions.
