A small correction on this, Fred. I said that Rogliatti's "Leica, The 
First 70 Years" only shows serial numbers on lenses after 1933. That 
doesn't necessarily mean that Leitz didn't serialize before 1933, 
only that Rogliatti didn't list anything before. I'm not 
knowledgeable enough to know when Leitz began serializing lenses. 
C'mon, you collectors, out there, what;s the dope?
