I know the owner of a local camera shop (and also an avid collector), 
who has got both of those gold plated cameras shown in your photo, plus 
a gold plated Leica M6.

The Swedes need to pick their game up.  Leica - hardwood box.  Pentax - velvet

I've stopped in at that Leica stand in the Frankfurt airport. It's a
