This camera will be withdrawn from sale on 16th Nov.2017.

This one is a real beauty.

Dating to 1955. THIS IS THE DOUBLE STROKE MODEL.

Everything runs as smooth as silk as it was serviced in March of this year and has not been used since. This included a prism re-build and the viewfinder is now extremely bright and spotless. I shall show the description of the work below.

The original Vulcanite has one small piece missing but otherwise in great condition. The body has the usual scuffs on the top plate and two on the base plate but absolutely no dings on it at all.There is some black paint on the door missing.

It comes with a Leitz Elmar 5cm, f3.5 collapsible lens with Leica cap. The lens was sent away for a CLA but was returned untouched as it did not need it.

Included in the sale is the original Leica red box with matching serial number. the lid had split at the edges so I made a repair and it is now firm.

Also included are two original Leica filters in cases, one NON WORKING Leica lightmeter with box, one Leitz 5cm sunhood, a few booklets and an old receipt.

The foto of the base plate shows a thread adaptor insert for non standard camera cases. This adaptor is NOT PART OF THE SALE and is now removed.

I may accept offers for the camera without the lens but please state exactly what you are offering for.

The fotos form part of the description. Please scrutinise them carefully as I will now only accept returns if the camera is not as described.
