Hello all, A question I haven't seen mentioned or answered anywhere. When the Leica M3 first came out and still was shipped in the velvet red box, what all was in the package? I see several of the original M3 boxes for sale on that auction site .... but they are empty and have no internal structure to hold the M3 camera. Later boxes had flip forward walls and a velvet structure that held the camera but I wonder what structure was in that original doublestroker box. It's strange that all the boxes I see, including those sold with a camera are completely empty ... no styrofoam, no velvet ... nothing. I'm guessing that whatever was in there degraded and was thrown away. I ask, because I just bought a very nice (nearly mint) 705xxx M3 with it's box. But no structure to hold the camera within. Perhaps someone here has got the original complete package and can show the unboxing of it? Pictures are welcomed. It seems a shame to gave a nice M3 and a box but no way to show it off. I'm also interested in what specific manuals, and other detritus was included in these original shipments. Oh, and yes, I am actually going to use the camera:) Thanks!
