M6 plat. anch. 11/6 Christie's
La B.A. d'H.C.B.
au profit des petits freres des pauvres.

+ACI-A 90 ans, le photographe qui cadre a la prise de vue
a donne son accord pour la reproduction de sa signature
sur le capot d'un M6 platine, unique,
qui sera vendu le 11 juin chez Christie's South Kensington,
sous le marteau de Michael Pritchard.
Le montant realise ce jour la le sera
au profit des petits freres des pauvres...+ACI-

On the joined b+ACY-w photograph,
the camera look more like a M6J
with a normal new chrome Elmar 2,8
with Henri Cartier-Bresso's signature
and Leica in script on the top cover.
Number +AD0- 22-8-1908 (H.C.B. Birthday)
+AD0- 2.281.908 I presume.

That's a camera for a Leica Super Fan +ACE-
