A Minox Cameraminox III cameraThe first sub miniature cameras sold by Minox were invented by Walter Zapp. Zapp was a German engraver, that had taken a job in photography, around 1936. With friends, Nikolai 'Nixi' Nylander and Richard Jürgens, they discussed a camera small enough to carry in a pocket. Nixi Nylander designed the name "Minox" and the mouse logo. Jürgens contacted, Valsts Elektrotehniskā Fabrika (VEF), an electrotechnical manufacturing business in Riga. Production began in 1937 until 1943. Meanwhile, VEF received patent protection on Zapp's inventions in at least 18 countries. It soon attracted the attention of intelligence agencies in America, Britain and Germany. The compact size and viewing capability, made it excellent for document photos. After the war, a new company was formed Minox GmbH. The Minox got a new plastic casing and aluminum shell, that was lighter and cost less. The type of camera among Lee Oswald's possessions on Nov. 22 nd was a Minox III. Then it wasn't.

Camera, Case and FilmDallas police records show that Stovall itemized a "small German camera and black case on chain and film." +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Deputies did not conduct the searchMr. STOVALL. I don't believe there was anybody went with me at the time I went in. I heard--I think Rose started to the back bedroom, which would be Ruth Paine's bedroom and Ruth Paine was standing there talking to him--I could hear her talking to him and she told him that Marina suggested that he look out into the garage and so they looked and they were out of my sight then. The concluding statement of the Inventory Exhibit A is "the above property was recovered from 2515 5th Ave., Irving by detectives G F Rose, R S Stovall, and J P Adamcik, all the property has been initialized and marked for evidence by Stovall and Rose" --ALL DPD Stovall, said cameras and camera equipment were found both in the house and in Oswald's sea bag in the garage Nov. 22-23, but he could not recall where the German camera was found. He also said he remembers someone - "I think it was somebody from the FBI later on, asking about that deal" involving the camera and light meter. "They (FBI) were (later) calling it a light meter, I know that," Rose said. "But I know a camera when I see it....The thing we got at Irving out of Oswald's sea bag was a Minox miniature camera. No question about it. " from OSWALD CAMERA DISAPPEARED DURING FBI INVESTIGATION By EARL GOLZ

How in the world could Oswald buy a minox camera between 500 and 700 Dollars that time. Stange is it if he ordered a Manlicher Carcano for about 20 dollar? Paul
