Lowest serial number?

[dougcee]

Just for $h--t$ and giggles what's your lowest serial number Leica.
Here's my entry-26627, 1930, converted to a III?

 

[sepiareverb]

A Hektor 2.8cm/f6.3, not even close. #452623.

Friend of mine has a Leica I-to-III conversion with #123xx,

My olderst is a black-paint II starting with #95xxx,
I have a Leitz 5cm f/2.5 Hektor from the same year as that camera. Can't recall the serial number right now.

A 3.5 cm Elmar without any serial number.

Leica II bought from Burancap: 75200, the 4000th Leica II and a Nickel 11 o'clock Elmar without serial number.

I have to admit that when I found out what people were prepared to pay for a 4 digit Leica I sold it very quickly.

Years ago, the gaffer of the studio where I was an assistant was the late Colin Glanfield, very well known in Leica collecting circles. Somebody came in to show him a really ratty II conversion that he'd just bought, badly synched through the top plate -- and the serial number 139, the 9th production Leica ever!

Cheers,

R.

Check the number on the black IIIa-syn. It underwent several upgrades since it's birth as a Leica I in 1929. It arrived with the contemporary nickel Elmar. Everything is smooth as butter, but I don't dare to use it.

My next oldest is an unmodified hockeystick Leica I from 1930 (#22899).

s/n 2578 for a Leica I (A) from 1926.
