Is the "Leica" script on the top plate an engraving that is filled, or is it not? Living in Ottawa, I can't see one in person. Where do you live, Rick? That's a bit too expensive for the M3 - about double too expensive, close to three times. Standard prices are advertised on the MP - go to any reputable site - Rich Pinto even advertises on this LUG group. regards, Vick Rick Dykstra wrote: > I went and had another look at an MP today.
