[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]As I am new to this list let me first of all stress that I am a Leica user (of a IIIC) rather than a collector. However, I have built up a small 'collection' of lenses and accessories for my IIIc and would now like to acquire one of the leather outfit cases which Leitz made from the 1930's up to the 1950's. First, I'd like to find out more about them. Unfortunately these cases, of which there were 10+ different designs, aren't mentioned much. Rigliatti's book, "Leica - The First xx Years" lists them and their catalogue code words, but nothing more. I'd like to see pictures/illustrations of the interiors of the different cases. Although these cases regularly come up for sale on the internet their owners are usually just selling them on and don't know anything about them. Are there any publications where they are illustrated? Has anyone got some photos of the different types. Is there anywhere on the internet where I can view pictures of the different cases? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks. Andrew.
