I think that K1000 RED is a fake. For doing that, you only need some tempera
paint to fill the already available engravings and a cloth for cleaning the
extra paint off them.

Michel,
I got this response from the seller when I asked what documentation he
had to back-up the price.
At first glance, it really could seem that it is very simple to
make. The camera has a highly responsive light meter EV=1-20 with ASA 100
film. The camera also has a low vibration shutter. The
Pentax has produced a few special editions, but I've never heard of any
of the special editions he mentions. The one's I know of are the Pentax
K1000 SE. ME SE, (I actually have one of those and it's not so
special), I think there was am ME Super SE, but I'm not certain. Boz
lists the LX
Oh, yes, I forgot the LX 2000 and MZ3 SE. However there are very few
Pentax limited editions when you think about it.

The K1000 SE, ME SE and ME Super SE aren't that rare. KEH has the K1000 SE
(black or brown cover) and ME Super SE (choice of two) in stock at the
moment and usually has an ME SE as well. The most esoteric (or most
Leica-like) Pentax special edition was the 67II 61 Limited which was
something to do
I'm not saying they're rare, I'm just not being clear, I guess. Unlike
Leica, which produces a limited edition something or other every other
week, Pentax produces a limited edition run once in a great while.

I think it needs more documentation to justify it's 3-5X pricing.
That might be a $50 early K1000 with a bit of red paint added.
The only odd part is the extra flash synch.
The lens should also have a plastic, not screw in lens cap.
And the 55mm f1.8 was the better lens introduced with the

not 50mm f2.0's either IIRC.

Probably is, though the red on the camera body is very well done. Very
difficult to get all the black paint
Forgot to comment on those nice black plastic coverings.

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

That JCII looks like it might be engraved instead of a label, which

Unless there's some documentation that proves that this is a real Pentax
special edition it isn't worth any more than any other K1000. Even if it
*is* a special made for a trade show or other event.
Without documented evidence of provenance it's nothing.
