The serial number (not always reliable) would indicate that it is a IIIa. If
the chap is wondering if he has a Luxus, I am afraid not. We would have to
see pictures but virtually all of these enquiries involve polished brass
Russian fakes. This is not to say that it could not be a Leica. Leica
themselves, and others, would do custom work for high paying customers.
