[pure-silver] old Leica and fast shutter speeds

I have an old Leica rangefinder camera from the thirties.  The other 
day I took it to the beach and shot a roll of film at 1/1000 of a 
second, because there was so much light.  But, most of the frames are 
only partially exposed on one side.  Can I conclude that the shutter 
just doesn't work at that speed?  It seems to work fine at the more 
usual speeds of 1/60th, 1/100th, etc. I wonder if this is a common 
problem for old cameras.
