77. Leica M3 Giant Display Model

First version original giant display model of Leica M3 with corner in top plate, with 5cm Summarit f/1.5 no. 000000. Very rare and attractive. LITERATURE James L. Lager (ed.), Leica Illustrated History, Vol. III, 1998, p. 321 Giant wooden display models of Leica cameras were occasionally officially produced by Leitz since approximately the late 1920s. Examples of Leica camera models IA (A), III (F), IIIf as well as M3 have been reported. Furthermore, several custom-made giant models exist, but the original versions are exceedingly rare. Of the Leica M3 giant models, there even are a number of variations, made at different moments during the long production period of the M3. The first original giant display model of the Leica M3 was made for presentation of the then new camera in April 1954 at Photokina in Cologne.
