Pecole Posted March 1, 2011 Share #1 Posted March 1, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Both models of the Leica I Model B with Compur shutter, the so-called "dial-set shutter" and "rim-set shutter", are "obligatory" items in a Leica collection. We had five passing through our Fontenelle collection : two dial-set nº 6110 and 6130, and three rim-set nº 21617, 34676 and 50572. This last is a very late one, produced in 1931. The production of the ring-set model started in 1926 and, by 1929, totalled 638. The first rim-set dates from 1928 and the last one from 1931, for a total 1,072 produced (following Laney). We start with illustrations of our "dial-set" nº 6110. Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! Here are details of the Compur shutter nº 258646. Ot this view from above, one sees the serial number, the image counter dial and the "dimpled" release button. And here the bottom plate removed and the interior fo the camera. And finally three images of the "rim-set" nº 50572. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

Maddox Posted March 13, 2011 Share #3 Posted March 13, 2011 My 1( Compur dial-set No.5859 with Elmar 1:3.5 F=50mm, D.R.P. No 258646 D.R.G.M. is a close-focus. Distance scale is in Feet, with the closest 1.5 at 7:30 position. Release button not dimpled; feathered arrow on rewind; round accessory shoe. According to Dennis Laney (2nd edition, page 65) only two close-focus dial-sets known. Maybe this is a 3rd? My 1( Compur rim-set No.50522 with Elmar 1:3.5 F=50mm, # 2254564 is standard focus. Distance scale is in mtr, with the closest "1" at 1:00 position. Release button dimpled; simple arrow on rewind; round accessory shoe.
