luigi bertolotti Posted September 24, 2021 Share #3 Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) I think there are several for some counrties.. here ìs one for Italy... 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! In my personal opinion... something more (10% ?) than a comparable standard can be reasonable... I don't expect they become a special collectible... of course to have all the flags can be a nice set ... 😁 . 554 items is reported, of which Korea and Brasil ought to be the scarcest ones : http://www.wetzlar-historica-italia.it/M7.html Edited September 24, 2021 by luigi bertolotti Quote Link to post Share on other sites Simply register for free here – We are always happy to welcome new members!

earleygallery Posted September 24, 2021 Share #4 Posted September 24, 2021 I've seen loads of these on ebay, various flags. I don't think they are worth any premium unless you want something 'different'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
M9reno Posted September 25, 2021 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2021 Is there a Colombian one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brown Posted September 25, 2021 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2021 There is a France one for sure. Available not so long ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Columbia had a Leica dealer at the time the M7 was launched there should be a couple around somewhere, they were in-store demo cameras that couldn't officially be sold to the public at the time.

willeica Posted September 25, 2021 Share #8 Posted September 25, 2021 These are relatively common and the premium paid would normally be low. They are usually called ' Flag Cameras' and they have been discussed here a few times before. Unless there is an Irish one, I'm not interested. My Irish engraved II Model D from April 1932 (confirmed with the Leica Archives) does me just fine. William Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anbaric Posted September 25, 2021 Share #9 Posted September 25, 2021 Why, I wonder, was 'test camera' (and the name of the country) always printed in English? A cynic might imagine they were targeting an English-speaking collector market all along. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
