[Leica] older Metz shoe flash info?

[woc2 at earthlink.net (Bill O'Connell)]

Thanks for the input.
Seems like a neat little flash, it's the low profile with a single tube that
rotates.  That and the fact that it has a TTL position along with 3 A
selections started my quest.  Had not used it in a while, in fact since
moving from the M6 and thought it would be a good flash for the M7.  Oh
well, guess I'll just have to stick to using the Noctilux :->

Forgot to mention: the model number was the nominal guide number, in metres,
for ISO 100 film.
