Advertisement Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Hi sscrooge, Take a look here leica i. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
greyelm Posted September 4, 2010 Share #2 Posted September 4, 2010 The s/n suggests a Leica I but it looks like a Leica II. This may be a factory conversion. You could try this camera shop in Manchester (UK) they may be able to help. www.leicas.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sscrooge Posted September 5, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted September 5, 2010 Hi, thanks for the link i will pop in there and see what they say about it, i have been told it started off its life in 1931 as a i then got sent back for a factory conversion and at some time in its life got this 1952 dated lens, it appears to be working but will get them to give it the once over, can anybody tell me an approx value for this type of camera as dont want to spend to much on it if it needs it if its not worth a great deal, cheers Dave Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyelm Posted September 5, 2010 Share #5 Posted September 5, 2010 With a decent lens in working condition it must be worth over £200. It would be worth having a CLA (service) and then using it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted September 6, 2010 Share #6 Posted September 6, 2010 My II is a converted I, factory upgraded in 1934, looking very similar. I had it CLA'd by CRR Luton. Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
