Default Question about OLD Leica gear

My grandpa bought two Leicas waaaaaaaaaaay back in the day, he paid $150 for the M3 back about 50 or 60 years ago.

Took some pictures when I was there on Saturday, he had two bodies, two lenses, a weird looking flash, a few filters, a range finder, and a few adapter rings. Unfortunately one of the cameras has a broken wind spring, but the other one still works.

One of the lenses looks to be a 50mm f/1.5, and the other is a 90mm f/4.

Can someone tell me more about these? Maybe where he could get them fixed and a little history behind them? Here's a link to the pictures, excuse the blurriness, I was using available light with my canon 5D and 1600 iso..
