One of the nicest black paint, 100% original M camera I have seen. OUTSTANDING
Original patina with a very small pinhead just on the face of the camera under the counter/release button
A very VERY pretty camera. You will be hard pressed to find another M4M like this. AMAZING!
Mechanics 8*/10
*This camera still has the vintage New York "Y" seal and I can tell this camera has not been opened or touched in some time. Maybe serviced one by the orignal owner as this is coming from an outstanding collection

From the viewfinder to the screws and the seal, this camera has not been opened and if so, it was done by Leitz NY as maybe that is why it has the Y seal many, many decades ago.
I would go as far to say that the Y seal is as important as the L seal for a camera like this.
Slow shutter speeds need a service
All other camera functions working normally
Optics 8-/10
Viewfinder/rangefinder has the usual untouched M4 haze ( easily cleaned )
This is a very VERY special camera. This is not your regular M4 MOTOR camera.

I sold my last M4-M which was in very poor condition for over $13000.
This camera is spectacular. Y seal, beautiful. Great history and from an important collection.
Just spectacular, rare and beautiful
A must for any collector or enthusiast
A pleasure to have and enjoy!
