Maybe someone already did...  *Super Rare* Leica M3 Original Black Paint Lucky number Just CLA'd by Leica USA 403163110911 | eBay  .. and, maybe, even from parts that a honest dealer clearly declares as "not original"...  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leica-M3-Black-Paint-Top-Bottom-Plate-Set-MINT-/370307532259?pt=Film_Cameras&hash=item56380c85e3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

luigi bertolotti Posted May 5, 2012 Share #6 Â Posted May 5, 2012 Both Laney and Puts list the 1078501-1078800 as a batch of "lackiert" and not "shwarz lackiert" as they do for others... don't know how exactly what they mean for this... what is sure is that if anyone wants to disguise a "self.modified" Leica usually puts the right attention to the s/n to engrave on it... examples abound.
