jonsvw2000 Posted April 24, 2011 Share #1 Posted April 24, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hey guys, I was in my local camera district shopping around and I ran across a M8 "Historica" edition. Well at least it had the M6 Historica edition Leica Historia 1975-1995 engraved on the top plate. I'm sorry I didn't take a picture of it but it caught my eye cause I had never seen one before. Probably just engraved? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonsvw2000 Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted May 1, 2011 Welcome, dear visitor! As registered member you'd see an image here… Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members! I went back today and took a picture of the M8. It appears that someone had probably painted the "Historica" information on it. The paint of the "M" of the M8 is also smudged. here is the serial info 3109874. the strange thing is that the paint of the Historica information had a mixed two tone color to it. it almost looked like a pearl inlay... what do you think?

luigi bertolotti Posted May 1, 2011 Share #5 Posted May 1, 2011 I think it's a rather stupid writing added by someone, maybe for joking... even if there exists some "Leica Historica" association, which celebrated its 20 years in 1995.. don't see the reason to paint this on a camera of 2007, mixing it with the oldstyle Leitz Wetzlar writings, which are unrelated to M8 & Leica Camera co.... bleah... I someway doubt is related to Leica Historica LEICA HISTORICA e.V., indeed founded in 1975... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonsvw2000 Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share #6 Posted May 2, 2011 I found it rather strange and it caught my eye cause besides the white M8, I didn't think they had any other special edition M8. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
