Original Description:
Before making a bid PLEASE read the entire listing carefully!! Camera serial number 264438. Lens serial number 231146.  
The Leica factory code was ADOOR. The IIIa was the first Leica to offer a 1000th top shutter speed.   
This is a Leica IIIa with Leitz Elmar 5cm f/3.5. This is a 35mm Rangefinder Film Camera. The camera dates from 1937 and lens dates from 1934. The camera you see is the camera you get. The Leica display stand is NOT included. ...No games. Free shipping in the USA. All other buyers pay actual shipping costs. I ship the day payment is made. Regards, Darryl
The camera body and lens have received a complete service. The rangefinder is bright and accurate. The viewfinder is clear. The shutter and counter are working and the curtains are in excellent condition. The camera includes an original take up spool and correct baseplate. The lens has a smooth focus and clean diaphragm. The glass has no fungus. There is some haze (no too bad) and some light cleaning scratches. This will produce a good image. 
The cameras cosmetic condition is as follows. No dents. There are some brightmarks on the top and baseplates, but overall it looks good. There are no chips in the vulcanite. The lens has no dents. The bezel is flat. The camera has obvious brassing mainly on the baseplate. The strap lugs have brassing and the top plate has some along the rear top edge. The lens tubus is obviously brassed as seen in image No. 3 and 6. The focus is marked in feet and the f stop scale is European. The cameras baseplate is 3/8". The lens cap is included. Overall I grade this body as a cosmetic 8 (average) and the lens as a 7 (because of the brassing). The camera and lens are in perfect working condition. I thought it was worth spending the time and effort to bring it back up to factory specifications. 
This is a very good useable camera. It is NOT a cosmetically Mint example.    You can ask questions and I encourage you to do so. I speak Leica. 
NON US buyers are responsible for any custom fees. I do not mark items as gifts. No shipping to India or Argentina.
