Nice!
I like the Heiland Pentax, looks in great shape.
Your Leica IIIf BD (as in Black Dial) was made sometime during 1951 or 1952. I have to be honest with you though, the shine on both the lens and a few other components bothers me. Leica never wanted to add that much shine to their cameras unless they were the Luxus model (gold plated). Outside of that, the Leica looks pretty good. I'm about 75% sure it's a genuine Leica. And if that's the case, you've got yourself a great deal and also you've got yourself in trouble. Because when you have one Leica, you'll want more.
Put some film in it and enjoy shooting it.
