The continuing saga:

        Here is a list of the Leica collection that I came across the other
day - any help placing a value on this would be helpful.

1.      M2 body - 1958, single stroke, rough, good user?, 1:2.8/35 Summaron,
at the edge of the lens there are marks that look something like a spiders
web, Leica meter MC also a little rough but working

2.      The following comes as a set and they don't want to break it up:  M3
#844632, double stroke, some pitting on the rewind lever but the rest looks
ok, leather case, 1:1.28 50 mm Elamar #1821112 with lens cap, 1:2 90mm
Summicron (Canada) #1680925, some light cleaning marks, 3.5 cm 1:3.5
Summaron, lens hood, Leica UVa filter, plastic case, some small marks that
look like snow, 1:4.5 Hektor #1208454, seems fine, Leica Meter MC working,
E. Leitz tripod ball head, collapsible flash unit, Minox Wetzlar camera in
leather case, Complan 1:3.5, f15mm, working fine but case is rough

3.      IIIg #971886 with instruction book, UVa Leica filter, 5 cm 1:2.8
Elmar #162496, looks good and seems to be working fine

4.      IIIf #549456, small scratch on back and beside lens but otherwise
clean, small dent inside body but shouldn't affect operation, 5 cm 1:2
Summitar #84019, clean, lens cap, good case.

        Any information as to approximate value would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
