Leica LTM 1925 Leica I?

Leica M39 screw mount bodies/lenses
To my untrained eyes, it looks real. Serial No. 951? Crazy! Should lens say 5cm rather than 50mm?
 
No, not 100% original. The wind knob is too high. The release button must be flat without a dimple. However, the lens seems correct for this vintage.

The knurling of the knobs should be finer. The knobs are replaced at some time. The oculair should be flat.

Very nice camera, but I think it is too expensive.


The lens cap is original.

Interesting that he doesn't post to Australia. Could it be that he doesn't like our consumer laws about accuracy of description, mandatory refunds, etc.
Also, he's apparently selling from Moscow :eek:.
 
that does not mean anything, when I sell I also exclude Australia as well as many other countries. I sell within EU only (excluding France), got too many problems with those french buyers.
 
Definitely looks real, but note Eric's remarks: It's not 100% original. I'm sure it's no Russian fake, though.
 
I was not saying camera 951 sold at auction

I was saying this (another) Leica Elmax sold at auction for the purpose of comparison
