Lucky man, Alex, and late MHRs,
according to Laney it should be from 1926/1927 (very early!!). He
mentions conversions from I to I (interchangeable lenses),II, II
sync,III, IIIA, and IIIA sync.
Very much looking forward to seeing it "on-screen".
Thanks for the MHRs - I don't feel a day over 70... :-)
Your dating makes it even older (originally) than my nice '32 Standard.
My Leica guru was almost as excited about it as I was, as he's never
seen one like this before. He was particularly intrigued by the
'sharkskin' covering on the body shell, and the fact that some of the
original Leica I parts were still there.
BTW folks - if you want your old Leicas given a new lease of life, I
commend Malcolm Taylor in the UK to you. Not only does he do an
excellent job, but his enthusiasm is infectious. Long may he continue!
Best
Alex
