Hello!
Quite difficult to find and seems in original condition.
But not really cheap...

The friends mine!
I promise, if all will pass safely and I shall receive this camera, I shall answer questions on it, if they at you will be.
Yours faithfully, dmzi |

And hidden buyer's identity, now we don't know if it did go to Russia as it likely did...

Well, it was sold today at 1181 euros...
Plus VAT, for most countries.
Much more than a Leica I (A), for example. But one can say that a Leica I is not difficult to find.
Perhaps one of us ?

Jacques,
you have here what is described as a one turn lens:

About 100 per cent original, one cannot be absolutely sure, of course. But the minor details visible on an 1a are present:
-rims of rangefinder/viewfinder black/bronze,
-rectangular window cornered and with poor metallurgy,
-oblique arrow for speeds,
-large speed dial with recess,
-no clip and no trace of holes,
-release button "mushroom shaped" (if compared with a 1b)
-a one turn lens, very expensive and difficult to find when not mounted on an original 1a,
-and so on for the inside.
The burnished finish is not really a proof of course, nor the above details taken one by one. But when it seems they all are present...
I wonder what "3C-T" means (on the shoe)?
Amitiés. Jacques.

Right it is much to expensive. Nice serial number though. What make you to think if it is 100% real? I ask seller for better resolution pictures. |

Hello Jacques,
I agree, this looks to be a nice camera and quite original, but very expensive. It will be interesting to see if anyone is willing to pay such a high price.
Best regards, Jim |
