Description
-Leica Leitz SABRE RIFLE GUN STOCK
-Leica Leitz SABRE RIFLE GUN STOCK
Extremely rare Sabre rifle gun stock made for your Leica Visoflex system.
All original with original matching Leica double cable release for your Visoflex I reflex housing. Made for your Telyt telephoto Viso mount lenses onto a Visoflex reflex body and screw mount rangefinder body.
Only a few examples are around today and exact production numbers are unknown but very limited. As quoted from: James L. Lagers Leica Illustrated History, Vol. II, Lenses, 1994, p. 188.:
Estimates of only about 35 pieces ever made.
I have only 1 other in the nearly 30 years, which I sold almost 10 years ago for over $15000 and that was spectacular as during those times, a black paint M2/M3 was about that price or less.
These are exceedingly RARE and special
There is only one other RIFLE stock for the earlier 400mm made by Leica with a special scope that sells for $200,000-$300,000.
The Sabre Photographic Supply Company, located in the state of Illinois in the USA, only produced the well known Sabre Stock Leica rifle, custom-made for the screw-mount and M-series Leicas, for one year (1956 to 1957), but this was never officially sold by Leitz. Therefore, we can only estimate how many of these were sold in the USA – conservative estimates ranging between two and three dozen. However, the Sabre Stock, painstakingly crafted in keeping with Leitz quality standards, was not only a piece of well thought-out photographic equipment for Leica cameras, but is also a joy to behold for any lover of high precision products. The use of high-quality materials as well as great accuracy and precision in its making led to a handy Leica rifle, sure to fascinate any Leica fan to this day.
VERY RARE and desirable!
