Thanks, Jim... ...and, thanks to all the rest for all the good discussion and helpful responses to my request. My M6 is especially valuable to me: It's my first Leica (I now have an M3 and a iiif, which I love), and I purchased it, in a face to face meeting, from someone who is one of the best-known Leica photographers in the country, though I didn't know that at the time. It has a "Leica History,"if there is such a thing, and entrusting it to the gentle hands of the airport folk would be like giving my grandson one of HCB's cameras to play with. So, I guess the new thread is: "Do Leicas carry with them their ancestry? Who owned it first? Where was it used?" Thanks, again, to all. Ken Frazier
