M9 Clandestine camera in Cigarette-case-and-lighter

Very well made German document camera concealed in a chrome plated cigarette-case-and-lighter. After removing the lighter from the cigarette-case you have access to the brilliantly designed clandestine M9 camera for Minox 8x11mm cassettes. Frame counter to 50 exp., size of the camera is 47x21x14mm, matte chrome plating, milled from solid brass and with a folding frame finder. Distance setting from 24cm to infinity. No diaphragm. Tiny knob release on one of the smaller sides of the camera. The camera is not designed to take photographs as long as it still is in the cigarette case, which is only a transportation disguise, you have to take it out. A similar outfit is illustrated in Keith Melton 'Ultimate Spy, Expanded Edition', page 92
