Mi è capitata una strana leica a vite ( I have buyed a strange screwmount leica)
ser 35122 (1930) ma dovrebbe essere una leica 1 senza telemetro (it should be leica 1 - without rangefinder) , invece questa ha il telemetro e pure i tempi lunghi (but it has rangefinder and also slow times)
Anche il caricamento è per me nuovo, dal momento che il rocchetto NON è estraibile... (Also loading camera is strange for me, because take-up spool doesn't move ) sono riuscito comunque a caricarla (but I succeded to load leica)
I tempi sembrano ok, ed anche tutto il resto, bella la smaltatura vecchio stile...(All times seem ok, and all seem ok, old style enamel is very fine)

The 1/500 fastest speed and the slow speeds make it a III. A factory conversion?

That is a little weird looking, didn't they used to paint the knobs black as well as the body?

Mauro,
That is a nice looking camera. Are you sure the take up spool does not come out?
Regards,
Tom

I'd go for a factory conversion from I (or something similar) to III done quite late on. I haven't checked the serial number.
Chrome knobs, white lettering, and a dot on the release button suggest early post war?
Very nice.

From the serial number the camera was originally a 1930 Leica I later converted by the factory.

If the spool does not come out, how do you put the leader under its clip?

Lovely camera, clearly an upgrade from a I to a III. They are so pretty in black. Your Summar looks to have excellent glass, enjoy it.
The take-up spool is held on by two tabs that are bent out from the drum it goes around. Maybe yours are bent out a little too far.
