Well, I suppose you could send it flowers and invite it out to dinner, but... I think I understand about I-II-IIIc, I-II-IIIf & I-II-IIIg, but the earlier stuff confuses me. I've found a cheap 'user' described as "II converted to III with Black Dial sync". It doesn't look like the very old models I've seen, how do I work out the date from the serial number? Were the conversions carried out exclusively by Leitz and their agents, or were there 'chop shops' who's work is to be avoided? dmorton@cix.compulink.co.uk | "The loss of an old man david@cassandra.compulink.co.uk | is like the destruction Kilburn, London, England. | of a library"
