Mark,
At the risk of my incurring wrath over this already tedious thread,
You should know that some M6's did come with a thin, clear plastic
surface protector that simply peeled away.   Others, like mine, when
purchased new in 1990, had a little clear plastic molded cover that
fit snugly around the baseplate.  If I recall, it would have to be
removed anytime you change film, because it covers the lock.

That said, I would suggest to you to follow one of the many very fine
suggestions that have been offered to you to protect your baseplate,
THEN, stop being a sarcastic pain in the butt, and go take pictures.
And while you're at it, why not post some pictures.

Regards,
Sonny
