Dominique,

Impressive numbers.  The serial number indicates that the body is an
early M6.  How has this M6 body been used? (i.e., daily, every week,
once a month.)  When was the body last cleaned and adjusted?  Thanks for
taking the time to test your M6 and publishing the results.

A user and owner of two much newer M6 bodies (Solms),
