Everything was purchased new by his grandfather, CLA'd in 1967 and used lightly since then. None of this is pristine but OTOH none appears to have been misused. The Body: IIIf BD s/n 532978, w/ beat-up ERC, Leica flash sync table and japanese accessory self-timer. Body has numerous little scrapes and rub marks on chrome but no dents or ugly areas. Base plate is in similar condition plus a small chip of chrome is missing showing brass underneath. Slow speeds appear to be working properly but shutter has not been tested. Slow speed dial shows some brassing. Viewfinder is clear, RF seems bright and clear but keep in mind I'm no rangefinder expert. Vulcanite is in excellent condition with the exception of a tiny spot between the slow speed dial and lens mount. $275 3.5cm f/3.5 Summaron s/n 766757, glass excellent aside from dust on exterior surfaces, small finish marks on barrel, focus and aperture both smooth, distance scale in feet only. No front cap, chrome metal rear cap, plastic Leica case with crack in lid, push-on adapter for Series VI filters. $175 (sale pending) 5.0cm f/2.0 collapsible Summitar s/n 797976, glass clear, no sign of scratches or coating damage, distance scale in feet only, focus smooth but aperture ring very stiff, chrome Leica front cap, chrome metal rear cap, push-on yellow filter (user condition, brand unknown, marked Germany), plus Tiffen adapter for Summitar to Series VI filters, and Kodak metal Series VI lens hood. These are user items, the hood and filter adapter could stand some touch-up of the black flocking on the interior surfaces. $125 90mm f/4.0 Elmar s/n 808213, glass clear, vulcanite excellent, small marks on barrel, focus and aperture work well, distance scale in feet only, chrome metal Leica front cap, chrome metal rear cap. $150 VIOOH universal finder, 3.5cm -> 13.5cm, click stops at 3.5, 5.0, 8.5, 9.0 and 13.5cm Some finish wear, seems to work properly. $45 (sale pending) Leica meter with incident and low-light adapters, probably not working. $10 Zeiss Ikophot selenium meter, cream-colored housing, seems to be working OK, with incident adapter and worn leather case. $20 I don't have much experience with thread-mount equipment so if there's anything you want me to check or clarify let me know.
