64. M3 black paint *

Very early and fully original body in beautiful and 100% original condition from the first official batch (959401-959500) in perfect working order with matching black paint Summilux 1.4/50mm no.1703844 (B/A condition, perfect clean optics, cap), the body with early strap lugs, all-black base plate with black locking bar, gold/red inspections card with matching body number, original maker's box with matching serial number! This early version of the Leica M3 is finished in satin matte black paint. While the total production of the Leica M3 reached almost a quarter of a million units, only 1,410 cameras were originally prepared in black paint finish. The lacquer was by far not as resistant as chrome plating. Thus well-preserved examples in fine original condition are very difficult to find, with a matching Summilux and the original maker's box almost impossible!
