I just bought a new mint M3 s/n 960,065. Funny thing is Steve's serial list doesn't show this number in any series on the M2.

It jumps from 949400 to 960501 and there is 3 listings for for serials numbers starting from 960501

1) 960501 - 961500
2) 960501 - 960500
3) 960501 - 960801

Any ideas?

Ah that is strange. But it exists and shoots film as if it were made in 1959 by Leica...that's what it would seem. Yet odd that the range of serial no.s in which it would have been manufactured is not mentioned. FWIW, I think that M2 form is the most pleasing of all the Ms.
