I have picked up a couple interesting things recently, One a IIIf body with 
a name factory engraved on the back obviously by Leica or Leitz NY fonts and 
size match

Also a brown shoulder system case (III series rectangular leather) with a 
silver plated brass name plate on it noting it belonged to Major xxx   DC

I think these are ties in time, sadly googling the first name had no results 
and the second surname is quite common

Has anyone (Jim Lager) studied these sort of things 

Thanks
