It was a production prototype that never made it into the Leitz product line -- it never even made it into the Leitz catalogues, for that matter. Around 250 were made and, apparently, all were sold by ELNY. When these surface, the asking price is routinely around $2500 to $5000. I believe I would probably call Stan Tamarkin and have him offer this in his fall auction. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
