All of these, whether MR or MR-4, were simply engraved, 'MR'. Or, at least, Leica did not so distinguish them (same catalogue number), nor does any of the literature indicate that any were engraved 'MR-4'. And I've never seen such or heard of one so engraved. And I've seen what is probably the largest meter collection in the world (Dan Black's) and have discussed these meters with the owner of what is probably the second largest, General Moss. Marc and Ben, I stand corrected on this -- because I had bought a meter that said "Leicameter MR" on it, and it was different from other meters that said "Leicameter MR" on them (because mine's an MR-4), and I have this manual that says there's a Leicameter MR and a Leicameter MR-4, but they're identical, I assumed that I had an MR, because it says MR on it, and the MR-4 must say "MR-4" on it. But as you pointed out, I was wrong -- there weren't meters that said "MR-4" on them that were MR-4's, but there were meters that said "MR" on them that were not MR's, but MR-4's. The ways of Wetzlar are indeed subtle! - -Patrick
