I have my dad's old D (or II) and it works just fine. Leica screw mounts were made for so long there are lots of used accessories on the market.

Yours has a few dings but I certainly would check it with a roll of film. I should note that nowadays I only use the II for B&W and do color on my MP.

Enjoy it!!

Edited to add:
I am sure there are old copies of the hardbound "Leica manual" on the market. Check out Alibris.com and Abebooks.com. I have found a lot of older books through them. The manual can get you through loading, rewinding, setting shutter speeds and such basics.
