ironringer Posted February 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted February 27, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) 1950s Leica catalogues do not illustrate the accessory camera straps, such as the 14090 TRPOO neck strap. The 14095 TROOV camera sling (leather) is shown in the 1953 price list. It looks like a useful accessory. Did Leica make both metal "snake" and leather neck strap accessories for the screwmount cameras? Can owners share pictures of these neck straps, so we know what to look for?

ironringer Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share #3 Posted February 28, 2014 Are you satisfied with this ? Yes indeed Mr. Braconi, that picture is worth 1,000 words. Are they all original Leica straps? I recognize the 14095 TROOV camera sling, useful item. Are the others all 14090 TRPOO neck straps? Did Leica make a slinky metal "snake" neck strap, similar to the Minox carrying chain? That is a beautiful collection, and thank you for sharing this informative picture.

wda Posted February 28, 2014 Share #5 Posted February 28, 2014 I still have my original leather neck-strap supplied with my 1960s M3 which is riveted on the return after passing through the ring and it also has a rubber shoulder pad fitted as standard.

M9reno Posted February 28, 2014 Share #6 Posted February 28, 2014 How kind (or unkind) are these various strap rings to the brass lugs of the camera? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironringer Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share #7 Posted February 28, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) I still have my original leather neck-strap supplied with my 1960s M3 which is riveted on the return after passing through the ring and it also has a rubber shoulder pad fitted as standard. Actually my enquiry was about the 1950s accessory Leica neckstraps, NOT the original straps that came with the cameras. The original neckstraps and everready cases with straps, are relatively common. Without Mr. Braconi's picture, I would not know what the accessory straps looked like. Maybe I can find one in assortments of old camera items.

gyoung Posted March 5, 2014 Share #8 Posted March 5, 2014 I still have my original leather neck-strap supplied with my 1960s M3 which is riveted on the return after passing through the ring and it also has a rubber shoulder pad fitted as standard. Likewise, one has been on my M3 since I bought it in '68 and is in good condition Gerry Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
