Thanks, Jim...

...and, thanks to all the rest for all the good discussion and helpful
responses to my request.

My M6 is especially valuable to me: It's my first Leica (I now have an
M3 and a iiif, which I love), and I purchased it, in a face to face
meeting, from someone who is one of the best-known Leica photographers
in the country, though I didn't know that at the time.

It has a "Leica History,"if there is such a thing, and entrusting it to
the gentle hands of the airport folk would be like giving my grandson
one of HCB's cameras to play with.

So, I guess the new thread is:  "Do Leicas carry with them their
ancestry?  Who owned it first?  Where was it used?"

Thanks, again, to all.
