actually, what these yahoos should be telling you is that an even seriel 
number like 900000 or 800000 or 855555 or whatever might have a collector's 
value above normal -- some collectors seek them out and Leitz tended to use 
them as presentation cameras. You might check with the company and see if 
that one was given/sold to anyone special. 

 Maybe Ansel Adams used it, bulk-loading single shot rolls of film into it, 
of course.
