The camera is in remarkable condition
MINT on some parts
The top plate, back door, shoe and parts all look spectacular
Leatherette is all intact-Lugs show signs of use along with the inside of the camera but the outside is spectacular
There is a M seal on the camera so maybe this camera was specially marked after service from Leica and no to be sold ? as the * cameras were not sold to the public

A very special camera.
Pretty and outstanding with great details, condition and marking.
In nearly 30 years, I have only ever had a few * cameras and one * # lens.
One was a M3 that I sold years for over $4000 and another IIIC #400002* for nearly $3000. These cameras don't come up that often.
They are desirable and rare!
Nice to have with box, case and papers and in this condition overall.
A really wonderful, rare and outstanding camera to have and enjoy!
