I have a Leica M3 serial number is over 1.1 million. It was CLA'd by Gus Lazzari in summer of 2011, the L-seal is intact, no dings or scratches or bright marks, cover is exceptionally clean. It's so clean it makes me think it might be replaced, but I don't have any evidence of that other than that it's so perfect. Bright, clear viewfinder, original spool, clean film plate, two sync caps.
35 summilux v.1 chrome finish - a few marks on the aperture index that might or might not clean off (they look more like dirt than dings, but I haven't worked at cleaning them), a few small (very faint) hairline scratches on the body - only visible on close inspection, but I wanted to mention them. Has infinity lock. Super clean glass, both the lens and the eyes are really clean and clear. I have not had this CLA'd because it doesn't need it, but I don't know the provenance and what might have been done before I acquired it. Includes a yellow Leica Summarit filter and silver lens cap with Leica embossed, also includes what I believe is a non-original Leica end cap. Black crinkle finish on the goggles is showing silver in a few spots (at the sharper edges - pretty normal for lenses of this vintage). I looked at a lot of 35 Luxes before buying this and this was the cleanest I ever saw. No oil on the blades, no hazing/fog.
$xxxx for the set.
I don't have boxes for either item. Will give preference to people buying the set.
If you don't have an established history of positive feedback on this forum, I may require payment by gift option, I can provide many references who have purchased expensive Leica gear from me via gift. Payment by gift deduct 1.5%.
Price includes insured shipping in the lower 48, we split any paypal fees. Deduct 1.5% if paying by gift option. Open to reasonable offers.
