Used Leica’s serial unknown to Leica?

I've not contacted those other emails yet, but I asked customer support to check the # again and they said

which means ??? 😵‍💫

They know they had it wrong is what it means. This is not the first time I have heard of this happening, and the historical Leica and Leitz records are almost laughably inaccurate.
 
Conclusions:

(A) they don’t have confidence in their own s/n database
(B) they think the camera is legit

did you ask them what remains on the warranty, if anything?
 
Given all the lore around Leica it's surprising to me that their record keeping would be so jank. I've registered a ton of various products over the years and this is the first time I encounter a serial # that the manufacturer somehow "forgot". Weird!

We are all just humans, even Leica 😉
I think your are safe to keep your Mp. Just enjoy it 👍
 
What about rewind knob? Slanted vs thumb rewind aren’t interchangeable…
There is simply no interchangeable leica body that will accept a MP top plate…..

If you bring back Mr. Brian Sweeney I am sure he can convert a M to MP and I have the parts 😄
