What type of Leica is this ???

[gliderbee]

This is on eBay Germany; the seller says it's an M2 (I don't think so ...), but what is it ?

Cameraquest's serial number list says it's a 1937 Leica I.

A Leica Standard (Mod. E?) in chrome with what looks like a collapsible Elmar 50/3.5.

I'd go with that too - the rewind knob is too small for a I.

But what's that in the cold shoe??

Looks like they fixed it. Now the title says it's a Standard Model E.

John,
It's the shoe of the short base rangefinder FOKOS (HFOOK).

Thanks for that - I didn't realise it was a separate piece 🙂

It's rare to find the base on the range-finder. They often get separated...
