I heard that at least 1 went to Japan.... Given a blank top plate, and a standard M2 and some skill at painting cameras, you too can own a black paint M2 with M3 back door and black, greeen, red, or purple strap lugs..... For $5K I would engrave the number by hand, and not charge extra! A story for those of you that use DAG for repair..... I met Mr, Goldberg ( I assume it was the same person as the guy I met also reparied cameras) years ago at the Pasadena or Riverside camera show.....he was custom gold plating cameras..... I could have a Contax IIIA made in gleaming gold paint.....he did Minox and maybe another camera or 2, and especially Leicas.....I don;t think he does this anymore, but the next time you want a real knock out camera, ask him......
