First gen 50mm Summilux repair?

[TJV]

Hi everyone,
I've come across a first gen Summilux 50 with some pretty bad rear element seperation. The overall lens, forgetting this major fault, looks perfect.
Has anyone here ever sent a vintage leica lens to Solms to get an element(s?) replaced? How much did it cost? Maybe there are alternative repair agents that do first rate Leica optics repairs?
