Subject: Vs: [Leica] Hektor infos needed

The O means that it is a very early version, manufactured just after the standardisation of the mount. As it is not rangefinder coupled it is quite rare and thus it would indeed be expensive. I have no idea about current prices - but I´d suggest double the normal price.
All the best!
