Replacement "L" seal - M3

[john neal]

My M3 (1 million+ serial) has an H seal replacing the original Leitz L one, and I'm interested to see if I can find out where it might have been serviced in the past.

My research so far shows that there are 2 widely known repairers that have used the H device:-

Havel Camera Service, San Antonio, Texas
Schmidt Marketing (H.K.) Ltd, Hong Kong (a Leica agent)

Which is interesting, as the camera came to me from Spain.....

Does anyone know of another service agent or repairer that might have used the H stamp?
(for info, the wax is more a dark grey, rather than black)

Colyn,

Thanks, but that only confirms what I already know - any more H seals out there?

Country of origin doesn't mean much. Many Leicas change a dozen owners within a decade these days.

Isn't that DAG's seal?

DAG and his father have the "92" seal
