Thanks Marc . Getting the camera in the US is gonna be a tad hard
, since I'm in France .

    I suggest you make it a condition of the sale that Lager or
some similar expert judge the camera to be authentic. If the
seller's reputable, he should have no problem with standing
behind the camera and refunding your money should you be
unsatisfied. If he doesn't want to go for this, pass on the deal.
There are too many fakes and too many "gotchas" for a "regular"
Leica user or collector to be able to navigate these waters
without expert help. In addition, any really authentic example
will go for enough that the seller won't have people lined up to
buy it, especially under current economic conditions.

    IMHO, of course.
