In "Cyclope" No: 36 Mars-Avril 1998, page 17:

M6 plat. anch. 11/6 Christie's
La B.A. d'H.C.B.
au profit des petits freres des pauvres.

"A 90 ans, le photographe qui cadre a la prise de vue =

a donne son accord pour la reproduction de sa signature =

sur le capot d'un M6 platine, unique, =

qui sera vendu le 11 juin chez Christie's South Kensington,
sous le marteau de Michael Pritchard. =

Le montant realise ce jour la le sera =

au profit des petits freres des pauvres..."

On the joined b&w photograph, =

the camera look more like a M6J =

with a normal new chrome Elmar 2,8
with Henri Cartier-Bresso's signature
and Leica in script on the top cover.
Number =3D 22-8-1908 (H.C.B. Birthday)
=3D 2.281.908 I presume.

That's a camera for a Leica Super Fan !

Guido ?
