Didn't it cost how much you paid for it? 😉

No idea on value but it looks like it might be a limited edition of some sort.

I found this with Google.

Looks great condition.

The R4 is one of the least expensive used Leica cameras. The "USA" label will not change this fact. I once bought a new looking just Leica CLA'd R4 from a camera store in Germany for about $250.

ok..what about "leica 039"? what is this?

Looks as if they once made some Leica USA branded special in a edition of at least 40. If that was a commemorative edition, it might be worth a bit more than the average pimped Minolta XD7 (a.k.a. Leica R4), if it was a discount version, it won't make a difference. In any case, even a 100% extra for that badge would not make it worth much, as the R4 is about the most common and least collectible item ever made by Leitz/Leica. Don't collect it, use it - later revisions are the most reliable and least quirky of all Leica SLRs.

Don't forget the lens, which I assume is included? Looks like a 3-cam and in good condition. I would suggest it is worth significantly more than the R4 body.
