If you are interested >in the often obscure differences between this and a late M6, please >visit my site at http://cameraquest.com/m6dif.htm Hi Stephen! Just read your comparison between an early and late M6. There's one thing I think that's not correct. You state the late M6 has the Top Plate Engraved "ERNST LEITZ WETZLAR GMBH", I think it must be blank because it's a Solms M6. I remember having seen a few M6's with a SS dial that was only milled halfway (the top half), is it this present in your late M6? Mine doesn't have such a SS dial. My M6 (#1780525) is engraved on the back "LEICA CAMERA GMBH GERMANY" and isn't the same as the late and early M6's you describe, my M6 is somewhere in between.
