LEICA M3 body black paint classic rangefinder

The absolute classic in rangefinder cameras, the Leica M series.

Timeless design, utmost reliability, perfect mechanical and optical performance and highest standards in workmanship and materials used.

Here at offer from this series:

The superclassic M Leica made in Wetzlar, the M3, with the finder with frames 50/90/135mm.

No. 1015403, from 1960.

Precise rangefinder, film counter under loupe, ultrasilent shutter and release, extremely reliable, incomparable feeling and tactile fascination.

Camera is of course NOT original black paint, but was chrome.

It has on our behalf and our expense been stripped-down by a specialist, cleaned and serviced and lubricated and checked in all parts. Then body parts then been professionally finished in black paint, and camera assembled again.

Beautiful if you want a black paint M3, but can not afford the x-tenthousand for an original one.

Except a very tiny dent besides the counter, the camera is now in mint condition, and also technically fully serviced. Test report can be included in delivery.

Particularly interesting about this camera: The back door is ORIGINALLY engraved with "made in Germany". We have never ever seen this in an M before, nor found in literature.
