I recall reading over the years that starting in the early 50's Leica's
could could get at the PX; the military on Base store. Not sure about
Retinas though. Nikons though.

Hi Philippe,
As a young USAF Lieut. in 1952, badly bitten by the photography bug, I
debated for weeks whether to buy a new Retina IIa or a used, but
recently serviced Leica IIIa. The Leica won out, and served me well
until my eyesight changed and the LTM rangefinder/viewfinder combo
became a challenge. The Retina series was a very nice product.
