A very rare black Leica M3, 1956,

no.839537, with double wind shutter mechanism,

Footnotes

Double stroke black M's are extremely rare as few were produced and most were subsequently modified to single stroke by the factory when they returned there for servicing. In the late 1980's this camera was rebuilt in the Leitz factory at the request of a then Leitz director.
