This is a IIIC (K) I once owned from 1942. I sold it in the 80s. I wish I still had it!

Or rather it isn't !
 
Hello,
this is my 1940 IIIC "stepper" with red curtains and matching Elmar
But in a recent CLA i decided to replace them with new black one (i stored the red ones for historic purpose).
Just shoot two rolls (some images are on my Intstagram page), definitely love it !IIIc.jpgIIIc2.jpgIIIc3.jpg

Recently acquired this, one of the best condition wartime IIIc bodies I've ever come across. Not bad for 84+ years of age! Actually one of the best Barnacks of any age.

Requested info from classicstore.wetzlar at leica-camera.com, this is their reply, which took less than a day:

Thank you for your inquiry and your interest in our Leica products.

The camera Leica IIIc with the number 393319 was delivered on 20.10.1945 to the US. Army. A service or repair was not noted in the later course.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards
