thebarnman Posted May 29, 2018 Share #229 Posted May 29, 2018 My pair of lovelies: That's interesting. What's that symbol, JAHRD and the 50 stand for? Is that personalized or a limited edition? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB_tx Posted May 29, 2018 Share #230 Posted May 29, 2018 Limited edition for 50 year anniversary of Leica camera. Also appeared on M5 and CL editions at least. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebarnman Posted May 29, 2018 Share #231 Posted May 29, 2018 Thanks, though it's interesting; the only thing I can find on the internet about JAHRD is that it has to do with the anniversary. I still can't find what JAHRD stands for. Does anyone here know? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted May 29, 2018 Share #232 Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Hello Thebarnman. It is actually "Jahre" which is "years" in German. The engraving commemorates the 50th Anniversary of the first Leitz 35mm film camera. The actual engraving is "50 Jahre" which translates to "50 years".

Michael Geschlecht Posted June 4, 2018 Share #234 Posted June 4, 2018 Hello Everybody, Some of the 50th Anniversary M4's are engraved "Leitz Wetzlar". Other 50th Anniversary M4's are engraved "Leitz Midalnd". Best Regards, Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiddlefye Posted June 5, 2018 Share #235 Posted June 5, 2018 Hello Everybody, Some of the 50th Anniversary M4's are engraved "Leitz Wetzlar". Other 50th Anniversary M4's are engraved "Leitz Midalnd". Best Regards, Michael Midland, Ontario - a few miles from my family's cottage. I've driven past the Leitz plant countless times, but they never would let me in for a tour. Too much sensitive military work going on apparently. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted June 5, 2018 Share #236 Posted June 5, 2018 Hello Fiddlefye, I think that Leitz Midland was sold to Hughes Aeronautics back in the 20th Century. I think that Hughes made a number of the 50mm, F1, Noctilux lenses & possibly some other lenses. Best Regards, Michael 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
