Leica is well known for commemorative cameras, even for making TOO MANY of them.
Which commemorative Leica camera essentially shouted
"WE SAVED THE COMPANY" ??

Another vote for the M4 2 here.

picnic like it's 1999
Commemorative that says "We Saved the Company"? The "Ein Stuck"? Or the yet-to-be-released affordable digital M commemorative miracle camera?

Would it be last week's model - the RFF commemorative M9, ful frame digital but with an optional film back, with a 50mm Noctilux , in a humidor type box for $2,499.99? :>)

The Ralph Gibson branded, red MP with the 50mm f/1.4.

The commemorative M4 2 2 should take the honors as the future company bail-out operation. As put above, a full-frame digital RF camera with interchangeable lenses, sold with a 50 Summitar (not Summarit, mind you), and the words "The Leica Saver" labeled on the body top, next to the SSN. The camera would come boxed in cardboard covered in red silk paper.
I think that's nice.

Doesn't answer the question, but I think this is probably the best looking thing amongst that particular list section of the site... inspiring!

You didn't ask for M.
I would think it's this one (picture referenced to SG's website), when you look at R and parallel M4-2 sales, and the timing:
(100th Birthday of Oskar Barnack)
The R3 is not the most popular Leica (now), but back then sold well. The R3 and R4 sold much better than M4-2 and M4-P.

Based on which shouts “WE saved the company” I’d guess one of the LHSA Anniversary editions

The last 100 Noctilux...
Pound-for-pound the most profitable item Leica has ever produced.

... Okay, that's a lens - not a camera.
The commemorative "camera" that saved Leica is yet to be produced.
