Default Leica Nr 357 available

I wouldn't normally post an eBay link, but this is something quite special.

LEICA with SERIAL NUMBER 357 circa.1925

"The 226th Production Camera circa.1925
Converted to a Leica 2 by E.Leitz Ltd
Mega Rare as it retains the *Original No.357 Top Plate"

This is for sale by my usual dealer, a registered Leica dealer in Manchester. If I had a hundred quid, I'd buy it myself.

Andy, FYI every time I go to an eBay link (such as this one) I get many attempts by other parties trying to break into my computer. This is verified by my security software. I quit eBaying several years ago when someone hijacked my identity. Too many nasty minded people hang out on eBay looking for opportunity IMO.

But relisted and starting at £500

This should be in a proper auction, not on eBay.

Amazing. A bargain, if ever I held one.

(Picked it up on Saturday...)

I didn't buy it.

I just picked it up, physically. It felt very, erm, 1925-ish.
