Beautiful !

+ it always makes me happy when I read about somebody having had their vintage M re-silvered instead of selling it for parts or worse - keep 'em alive!

EDIT - I have a nasty thought when I see your grey M2 with that Summicron - what about airbrushing the outer surface of the lens hood in the same finish as the camera body (think model paint and a working protective clear coat)?

Thx, it's the first one I've personally had re silvered and the 2nd I've had. It's very reasonably priced considering the cost of a new finder and Peter at CRR is, as always very helpful. He does a fantastic job and the finder is as new and a delight to focus. His turn round time for me was 4 days!
I would also like to publicly thank Will and Cathy from Camera Service NL for showing me how to align the secondary prism to centre the framlines.
As far as painting a hood goes, I think it would look nice for about 10 minutes with me juggling it in my Billingham!
 
My Leica MP in the garden of the "Charmettes" house, close to Chambery in Savoy, where Jean-Jacques Rousseau, the french writer and philosopher lived for some years.

I was making a serie of pictures in low light for an exhibition organized by the Chambery Museum.

My M2 took a fall onto some cement this past weekend. Aside from the dent, it still works perfectly!
