They are otherwise identical to all M6s. There appears to be no additional value added to the bodies because of this variation. However, if anyone is willing to pay a premium for one, please feel free to make an offer for mine.

It's seen a lot of use, but it's in good shape. I didn't realize, until after I'd had it for a day, that the front was only engraved M6, in large type, not Leica M6. Its serial number is 1743837, so it's obviously not one of the first models. The back is engraved LEICA GMBH GERMANY, and the red roundel reads Leica. Anyone know why this variation came about?
