For people who REALLY like brassing

I wonder what this camera's story was.

Dropped in a vat of acid? Sanded with emory cloth as a art project? I have no clue, nor why a dozen people are bidding on it.

Maybe because it's just over $100? I'd buy it for that, but I can't remember my ebay password.:bang:

Let's see if the price stays really low.

Interesting. S/no.30036 was a 1930 Leica 1 (A). This camera seems to have been converted to a II, had a new top plate, body and bottom plate. The lens has presumably been converted to couple with the R/F and has no s/no.

There is a good chance that the only original parts left are in the shutter.

I'm surprised it wasn't described as "minty" in the listing!
