Leica M3 Rangefinder 0.91 Chrome

The first Leica M camera, the M3, introduced in 1954 combined the viewfinder and rangefinder into a single window, and set the design standard for any Leica M camera coming after it. It was the most successful model of the M series, with over 220,000 units sold.

This particular example has what it seems an interesting history, it has engraving of (what we guess) the original owner, which seems to have been heading up a very large corporation. The camera has been tested on the shutter tester, and shot with film, and is in perfect working order. Rangefinder is spot on. There are however some user marks, and ofcourse the previously mentioned engraving. A real user camera.

It comes in our own box, a hyperion strap, and 6 months warranty.
