David,

This sounds like a pretty good deal to me if the camera is functioning =
properly.  Add $125 to that price to get the lens cleaned and lubed and =
you'll have yourself a dandy user Leica.  The M6 leather on the M3 will =
look about the same as the M6 leather looks on my M2.  That is to say, =
it looks just fine.  Certainly it does not look quite like the original =
vulcanite but it does not look out of place either. =20

I bought a user M2 and had Leica New Jersey CLA it for me and put new M6 =
leather on.  The camera looks nice for a user and functions flawlessly.  =
This M2 has become my main camera and I haul it around nearly everywhere =
with me and do not worry if it picks up a scratch or two here and there.

Hope this helps,=20
Regards, Don=20
