Hi Tom,
Some time ago there was a page on Leica's website where there was a form to identify Leica cameras and lenses by their SN. With a bit of effort, it was possible to go back to the first "official" specimen of a searched item. But now that page is not available anymore, in line with the new 'lock up' policy it seems.
My earliest radioactive 5cm is a 9210XX.

Thanks a lot

Ed
PS: I'd love to see your book about the IIIc's. I have three or four post war, a 1945 "half race" and a couple red curtains, one of them with a re-chromed top plate, FI contract number and ground off Luftwaffen Eigentum.
