Melancholy
To grain, or not to grain
Hello fellow rangefinder members!
I got some questions regarding a M2 I want to share with you and get some more informations about. It's a black M2, I've checked the serialnumber, and it's supposed to be a 1958. Problem is, all the paint seems to be removed, and the crank looks replaced with a chrome one, or should it be like this? My search on the net so far indicates that the serial number and model should be correct, but again, I know there's been some copies around...
I got this two pictures of it, what do you think, is it a real one, or could it be a copy? I don't know why the black paint is gone, but I guess it can't be used so much that all the paint is gone like this?
Would be great if I could get some feedback and advice about this one, if I should by it or not, and some estimate on a good price? I'm going to take a closer look at it tonight, so it would be nice to have more information.
Thanks
