Laney shows it a 1952/53 c) The shutter speed dial is mis-aligned (eg, the pointer looks as if it is pointing to 1/200 when it is in fact 1/100). See that there are 3 screws at the side of the shuttle dial, can I unscrew them to correct the alignment? (Better ask first before I do anything stupid. :) ) I will leave this to the experts c) Can anyone tell me a bit of history on this camera model? This camera was made from 1950 - 57, and was the first Leica with built in flash sync, based on your serial number, yours should be a red dial model. Depending on when yours was made, it may have the international shutter speeds on the dial, as the transition was in 1952. Hope this helps, Noel Charchuk
