I have a silver Leica-M 50 mm lens f 1.4 Summilux with serial number 1946918 (Germany). The serial number indicates that this lens is from 1962. It is in very good condition and works flawlessly. Q1) Am I correct in assuming it is the first type of this lens? Q2) My other question: I saw two other lenses like these on internet" - the first has serial number 1945xxx see: Leica M 1:1,4/50 mm Summilux Silver, Version 1., 2.160,00 € - the second has serial number 2072xxx see: LEICA SUMMILUX 50mm f/1.4 (1960-2004) My lens number is in the middle of these numbers. The first lens on internet has "13" engraved behind the letter "m" and beneath the word "feet" of the focusing scale. The second lens has "14" engraved in this place. However, my lens has no engraving in this place what so ever. Can anyone tell me what this engravings mean and why there isn't any on my lens? Thank you!

Good Afternoon, i have revently managed to clean my Leica Summar 50mm from arroung 1937. Internally the lens is beatuifuly with no scars or paintchips. But the frontlens is heavly scratched. I've tried contacting my local Leica dealer and camera store, but both couldn't really help me. Does anyone have an idea how i can "fix" it myself without buying a new lens and spending a huge amount of money. Thanks in regard!
