giordano Posted April 15, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 15, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Leitz Prop US Army Marked Leica 13.5cm f4.5 Hektor Lens | eBay It's a slightly tatty black Hektor with a mint chrome distance scale. Apparently supplied to the US Army - so probably with distance scale in feet - but the chrome scale is in metres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

andybarton Posted April 15, 2011 Share #2 Posted April 15, 2011 The distance scale must have come from a different lens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The chrome is more wear resistant than black paint, so the contrast being so strong, can create some doubt about the originality, but it is not a strange fact that the scale is in meter. I have already seen some examplars Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted April 16, 2011 Share #4 Posted April 16, 2011 Hello Everybody, The one maked US Army has a serial # from 1948. The one on the page below it marked US Government is from 1942. I hope these dates might be helpful. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
