Everything was purchased new by his grandfather. The Leica stuff was CLA'd in 1967 and used lightly since then. None of this is pristine but OTOH none appears to have been misused. 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; no pinholes in the shutter curtains. Slow speed dial shows some brassing. Viewfinder is clear, RF seems bright and clear but keep in mind I'm no rangefinder expert. I've checked the RF against my SL and they agree at all distances. Slight vertical mis-alignment. Vulcanite is in excellent condition with the exception of a tiny spot between the slow speed dial and lens mount. Includes non-functional Leicameter with incident adapter. $275 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, chrome metal Leica front cap, chrome metal rear cap. $150 Contax IIa black dial, Zeiss bumps on back, s.t. sluggish, vertical alignment off. Shutter not tested but all working and slow speeds sound good to my ear. Back and bottom have some scrapes, dings and brassing; includes well-used ERC and Zeiss Ikophot light meter with incident adapter. $275 I don't have much experience with any of this equipment so if there's anything you want me to check or clarify let me know.
