This is the 1426o "Quick-Load" Kit. It was a rather total bust on the market-place: many Leica users of the '60's referred to it as the "neverload" kit because of its vile nature. I bought one once, put it on my M3 for six months and finally got it to work right. Then, I took it off and went back to the utterly sane normal M3 system, and sold the "neverload" kit to a collector for about twice what I'd paid for it. I guess some folks liked 'em, but, judging from the numbers of unused kits which surface NIB, I suspect most of them just sat on dealers' shelves for years.
