FED rangefinder kit

All in a veneered wooden case 37 x 27 x 8.5 cm, total weight 6.6 kg.
The equipment was put together decades ago. The question of authenticity regrettably is hard to answer: the „FED cnopm“ and the „FED Stereo lens“ are generally said to be fakes - but the actual examples in this outfit differ in some details from the examples we know and are generally better made.
And some of the enclosed accessories have surfaced for the first time, e.g. the panoramic head or the stereo slide.
