Guest Posted July 16, 2013 Share #3 Posted July 16, 2013 An item not in original condition and a lot reworked, do you know the connection between this camera and DAV? cheers. May be it was a user's Leica with some repairs and upgrades, Leitz offered up in the 1950's. There was no hint at the alpine museum, if the Leica belonged to a member of the club. So they do. if a alpine picture is presented: 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!

luigi bertolotti Posted July 16, 2013 Share #5 Posted July 16, 2013 Apart the s/n it looks more to be a Standard, especially about the rewind button... Yes... the "7 o'clock" Elmar is revealing... it's probably a factory conversion to Standard, retaining the original s/n Worth noting that at those times the DAV was indeed the DOAV (Deutsch und Osterreicher AlpenVerein - the two alpine clubs were merged in 1873 and became again indipendent after WWII) : is a story well known in Italy, because the DOAV built and owned many Mountain Huts in the Italian Alps... which after WWI "passed" to Italian Alpine Club (CAI) as a sort of "war prey" : there had been even a Mountain Hut (Landshuter Hutte) , not far from Brenner Pass, which was exactly ALONG the divide set after WWI, and was divided in two parts, one managed by CAI and the other by DOAV.... now it's named "Europa Hutte" and still co-managed by the two Clubs.
