I own a M6 Demo Benelux - SILVER body (serial number is 217512X) with the Benelux map on top cover and the European flag (1x1 cm blue square with 12 golden stars) in front of the accessory attachment. It's also engraved "Leica Demo Ausrustung Benelux 96" but according to Stephen Gandy (Cameraquest) it was made in 1995. The additional text and the map are filled with dark blue (instead of black for the speed dial). I don't know how many were produced. Mine was sold with 35 Summicron pre-ASPH without special engraving. Does anyone have more info about the Demo M6 bodies and other bodies with coloured drawnings like the European flag? Thanks in advance. Bernard bernard.degaute@village.uunet.be
