It is great to see that this camera is still around and will be put to use again shortly. We had some discussions here lately about how Leicas were traded with occupying forces, such as the US Army, after WWII. In this case, the camera was buried for 6 months to avoid it being taken by occupation forces. It is still around and it has great significance and provenance for the current owner.
