Can anyone confirm this?

Unless I'm going senile (a distinct possibility), I believe we did. Yes, I think it was here. I didn't dream this. At the risk of starting a whole new thread of nonsense and twaddle, I am going to say that the only M6's that had solid brass tops (rather than zinc alloy) were the LHSA's. This is on authority from The Dude In Charge Of Repair At Leica USA. So in case anyone has an issue with zinc, brass, or even pot-metal (Hey Jerry!), this is The Official Word. I think someone was wondering if his M6 had a brass hat. Kit - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
