I bought a similar model, in green, not that long ago and I think I paid about £20, which is way below what they're asking.

Is there something special about this particular camera?

These typos are usually from Italian sellers!

I bought one on this Forum last month a Werra 1c, that's a 2/IIc aslightly different meter nothing special. I paid a lot less a significant fraction of that listing

They are less desirable when missing the lens hood which is reversed for folding up in the case and the lens cap fits aftewards. They were made by Carl Zeiss.

The more desirable Wera's are the IV and V which took interchangeable lenses. Unusually Werra cameras were made at the Carl Zeiss Jena lens works rather than one of their camera plants making Contax rangefinder and SLR cameras and Ikon etc.

Ice see the humour in it.

Way to expensive, I have 3, mone of the green covered ones, with a Compur shutter, all 3 take the interchangeble lenses, all with the lens hood, and the most I paid was £ 60 for the werramatic
