Extremely rare Kriegsmarine Berning Robot II camera

[kirederf7]

I’d like to share with you this extremely rare Kriegsmarine Robot.
The body is dated from 1944 and has the military serial number; B52713-6. For those who might not now, every Robot made for the military has the added - and number behind the normal serial number.
On the the top plate it has the M.F 972 engraving, this could be a unit number or inventory number, experts are not sure of the purpose yet. Next to it there’s a reichsadler engraved with the “marine” m underneath.
There are other cameras known with these type of markings, Contax II’s a couple of Exaktas and a few Leicas. All of them extremely rare. This is the first Robot with these markings I’ve seen. Everything seems correct. A holy grail for sure.

Do they command that kind of $$ or is the box being original driving up the cost?

It seems a bit steep even with the box.
