Leica M3 Chrome,
double stroke body w/early S/N 70051x, 1954
|
The camera body is just slightly out
of the first 500 units of earliest Leica M3 DS bodies with all early features, the
camera, according to auction literature, was in perfect technical order, apart of
some faint scratches from the Leicameter in fine condition, early M3 ever-ready case.
One of he reason why I show this visual was the eveready case which has some excellent
illustration of its functions, esp. the rear section which has an opening to show
the film speed reminder disc. This early M3 has a Buy-now price of EURO 2,160-00
as compared to the earlier featured unit with S/N 70017x which has a higher premium
of buy-now auction price of EURO 3,300-00*.
* Indicative
prices herein were based original prices published on previous auction literature/references.
Prices may vary according to gradual yearly premium, supply/demand equations, and/or
other progressive renewed valuation methods in the future.
