RFF Leica Serial numbers

wjlapier, I've corrected info about your cameras in the List... And congratulations for new M7s!.. They're GREAT looking cheeks ;) If you can please try to remember who did you sell the M6, maybe you have the phone number of the new owner, or email... Try to contact him and check if he knows about the RFF...

I found the email and sent him a message about this thread. I sold the M6 2-10-11.

Thanx for keeping the list. I have a IF I'll add as soon as I upload a pic with serial number.

nugard - I looked through the list and noticed my black M7 was correct,
but my chrome M3 DS #857976 (~1957) was not listed.
I must have forgot to send you a note.
so -this is an update request.

Thanks for keeping the list !
 
Just to keep the list accurate and up to date, I sold my Hammertone MP about 6 months ago to R. Lau, who lives in Hong Kong.

Thank you for the update!.. If it's possible try to connect Mr. Lau, and suggest him to have a look at the RFF and this particular thread...

Circa 1957. I no longer have the CV 21, but have a much more beat up collapsible Summicron instead.

Hi - It was made mid-1958; not the first batch of M2's made but as a button-rewind it's of the first type. I bought it used in July 1967 for $150 in a retail camera shop downtown Seattle. The M4 was at that time new on the market...
 
Hi all! Just adding my M2. Love her to death #994090 (1960)
Purchased Local (craigslist) in San Francisco, 3 weeks ago. Dont believe they were a member on here but I didnt inquire. I live In San Francisco, CA and that is where the camera is now :)

Thank you for the detail info!.. Also, could you please check if you could remember the RFF member from whom you bought it... And I'm waiting for SN photos...

37 as SN difference... Interesting...
 
My main squeeze-es, for the record of course. Just got the Color-Skopar for the M2 so what better place to put the photo than right here!
