jbl Posted April 16, 2014 Share #1 Â Posted April 16, 2014 Advertisement (gone after registration) KR just posted something about the M3 shipping initially in 1954. Does anyone know the actual first ship date? Purely curiosity on my part. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

farnz Posted April 17, 2014 Share #2 Â Posted April 17, 2014 In "Leica: The First 60 Years" Rogliatti agrees that the first M3 was introduced in 1954. The 8th edition of Hove (Laney and Puts I believe) agrees with 1954 too. Â Pete. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbl Posted April 17, 2014 Author Share #3 Â Posted April 17, 2014 1954 is the general year I've always read too. Haven't been able to find the exact date. Â -jbl Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaapv Posted April 17, 2014 Share #4 Â Posted April 17, 2014 Much the same as nowadays. There were prototypes, pre-production models, beta testers etc. You won't be able to find a precise date. For instance the M8 was officially shipped from Nov. 17th 2006. The first ones in the shops were 10-12 days before. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
