LEICA LEITZ M2 KOOHE 1300 EARLY #990613 BLACK PAINT LEVER REWIND CAMERA BODY
Description
-Serial #990613
-Made in 1960 in a very small batch of 250. Wetzlar, Germany
-Original M2 black paint
-Original untouched black paint patina
-Lever rewind example
-Only 1851 black paint examples were ever produced and most were later SELF TIMER versions
-Very rare and nice to have such an example that is all original; very nice, great patina
This is a wonderful camera. Similar to the original MP, the M2 is the only other vintage camera made to accept the Leicavit MP winder. Original black lugs, levers, back door, screws and all. Also, to find one untouched, with the original patina. Black paint bubbles, wonderful brassing and unique experience that each "used" vintage black paint camera brings. Really wonderful!
