Simple answer to this question with any M film camera: don't. They are not made to do double or multiple exposures. 

It is one reason why I like my Leica IIIc - there it can be done easily with the exact repositioning of the frame since the shutter can be cocked without winding the film after one exposure. 

I agree about don't do it.

May I ask how often do you really need/want to double exposure? Aside from the novelty of trying it.

I have several cameras that are capable of double exposure, but can't recall ever doing it. This is really a a question for all. I am curious about the reality.

Often enough that I had my IIIc CLA'ed and the shutter replaced! Two examples below taken with B&W films and the IIIc. It is one thing I definitely miss in my M cameras as capability.
