While ordering parts for a Focomat V35, I asked Dave at Leica USA parts if I could get a black dot like the one on the LHSA for my silver TTL. He said that replacement of any parts unique to a special edition requires sending the camera in, and they have to send the replaced parts back to Solms for accounting. He said that Leica used to require sending a special edition camera to Germany for replacement of any unique parts, and it took some doing to get Solms to even let Leica USA replace the parts. The fear is of people making counterfit special editions by buying replacement parts. You'd probably have to get a junked M3 or M2, but should check with a repair person to see that they are interchangeable.
