Received the 1995 book - took several months, haven't received the one after buying the R8 and sending the card. When I bought an M4-P new in 1982, received a leather wallet, 1982 system handbook and silver medal with Oskar Barnack 's likeness embossed on the front with "Erfinder der Leica" and 1879 Oskar Barnack 1936 - on the back a Leica M4-P. It is 1 3/4" dia. and has two proof marks plus STERLING and 81 on the edge. It is in a plastic coin holder and comes in a small box. Pretty neat. Tried to sell in on the LUG a couple of years ago and got no takers. I cut out two small round pieces of leather from the wallet and used them to protect the camera from the straps.
