AN UNTOUCHED camera.
* This is a historic and collectible camera.
I would not break the C seal and further proves its history and "NEWNESS"
A CLA will surly make the shuttler speeds work and the viewfinder will be cleaned but the C seal will be lost.
This is a RARE example being in such NEW OLD STOCK condition
I can not stress the RARITY of this camera, beauty and really a must have for any collector or enthusiast. The LAST of the TRUE Leica M cameras in my opinion.
A MIDLAND M4 JAHRE are almost never found and these are really something special and of all other 50 JAHRE pieces ( CL, M5, SL camera ) the M4 was the only one with the marking MIDLAND and only 350 of 1750 total made.
Very desirable and VERY VERY rare!
A pleasure to have and enjoy in such condition, complete and a great history!
