Luiz, I love your illustrations, thank you for this post, but I need some clarification I guess...

These annotations you drew, are these what Leica has or FSU has? Not really clear on that.. also do they really call it "Lavatory seat"? LOL [:D]

Those are the differences found on Leica cameras. This illustrated camera is a real Leica IIIa model These cameras were built only in chrome model (Model III-top speed 1/500- have black and Nickel or Chrome models)

-"Lavatory seat" -
is the common jargon given to the base where turns the high speed shutter button.

So according to this you are trying to prove that Steve's camera is a real Leica? I'm sorry I'm a bit slow [:)]
