LUGers,

Who know the real story about the Leica M6 "Traveller kit" ?
I'm interested by any information.

What I hear of and read about it is:

Traveler kit=3D M6 silver chrome covered with real leather (without
structure), with a silver chrome 50/1,4 (with separate lens hood), a smal=
l
leather bag (same leather as the M6) and attache case (same leather)
1993/94
Number producted 300 ex ?? Price new (180.000 BF =3D 5.400 $ (1994)

Leica international price guide 7th edition (1997) =3D =

Leica M6 Traveller + 1,4/50 Summilux =3D R8 =3D 5.000$ / 3.000 GBP / 8.00=
0 DM

One of the story I hear is that a Arab Prince ordered the chrome Summilux=
es
and then cancelled the order ?? (Seem difficult to believe)
The serial numbers on the Summiluxes are like : 34950XX or 355891XX .

Thanks,

Lucien
