As large parts of the vulcanite were missing, they offered to replace it with M-stuff. I'm not sure which M-type the material was originally meant for - they had to trim as well as join parts - but they did a nice job. I use it since then and it feels and looks still perfect. I'm wouldn't know if Leica USA can do the same for your camera, but you can always ask them. >After having the vulcanite twice repaired around the hinge post near the >baseplate on my IIIF, it has fallen off again.
