In fact, Eric, if your serial no. is what you say it is, you own a IIIa manufactured in 1935! (According to Rogliatti's "Leica-The First Seventy Years".) Your number, Blair (again, according to Rogliatti) is a black M6 made in 1991. My black M6 is from an earlier production run also in 1991 and carries serial no. 1795783. -- Roger Beamon, Natural History Interpreter & Photographer Docent: Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum INTERNET: beamon@primenet.com
