Forgot to comment on those "nice black plastic" coverings.

X-Acto knife, straight edge, and sheet plastic. Why under any circumstances would Pentax apply such things to a perfectly good and well designed prism housing? IF they did, I'd expect the housing to be recessed so the plastic (I think they'd continue the leather look) would be flush, not protruding where it could be easily caught and/or damaged.

The value of that camera on the collectable market is and should be less than a mint standard K1000.

Who spent several years on the other side of the camera show counter from the buyers/collectors, head buried in all the used and collectable camera books.

Seen on Ebay, this Pentax K1000: red markings on body and lens.
A fake or a commemorative series?
