The camera was in a glass display where it has only the most faint marks on the base but nearly impossible to find.

A MINT camera!
Mechanics 8.5/10
I don't know how this is possible but the shutter speeds are accurate

There is no curtain drag and the camera shutter is working well.
AMAZING for an L seal camera
*I don't guarantee its accuracy considering the L seal but speeds are working well
-All other camera functions are working normallyOptics 8.5+/10
-The viewfinder/rangefinder has very faint and minor haze as the camera has never been opened but still clean and clear when looking through
Rangefinder window has a nice contrast
This is a good sign as you know the camera was truly never touched!
A spectaculare example of a M4 chrome camera in so many respects.
A personal favorite from the 4 frames, the loading system, and the last of the TRUE vintage Leica German made ( old school ) cameras.
I have not had one like this in many many years.
So complete, so pretty and truly untouched.
Magnificent and a pleasure to have and enjoy!
