Hello Horac,

Its seems to me that the back door comes from an old M3! I've never seen
such a back door on a M2!

the back door to a "better one". Just think, where can he get another black
enamel back door? From another black enamel camera? In fact the pic of the
back of this camera shows that the back door has a lustre which is different
from that of the top-plate: it might suspiciously be in black chrome.
