It seems that 11935 pieces of Summicron 35 (SAWOM/11308) were produced from 1958 till 1969, but most of them in Canada,
"Only a small number came out of the Wetzlar factory" (cf. "Identifying Leica Lenses" by G. Sartorius), and of course, this german version is well looked after by collectors.
Some 9557 pieces with spectacle (SAMWO/11108) has also been made for the M3.
Very few (~500) screw mounted lens (SAWOO) were made.
