Robert J Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share #3 Posted June 24, 2011 A person who I was communicating with states that because he saw a photo of a chrome Leica I in James Lager's Leica-An Illustrated History volume 1,cameras page 25 Leitz must have produced such a camera.

luigi bertolotti Posted June 24, 2011 Share #5 Posted June 24, 2011 They skipped the chrome finishing.... passing directly to gold finish...... and this was made, indeed, just from 1929. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Geschlecht Posted June 24, 2011 Share #6 Posted June 24, 2011 Hello Robert J, I think the first series of Leica bodies to be offered in chrome was the Model II also known as Model D. This series began production in 1932 w/ # 71200. @ the time it was offered in chrome it was also offered in black. Best Regards, Michael Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
