Greeting and hello from Thailand. Recently i am fortunate enough to be able to acquire a Blackpaint Leica M2 button rewind.

Upon further discussion with my local dealer, they said it is possible for a larger dealership to acquire information from Leica regarding where any specific camera has been first shipped to once it leave factorry.

I would really appreciated if someone can point me to anyone who can provide this service or any channel that i can contact leica directly regarding this matter.

My sn. Is 948 845 circa 1958 in case anyone has any info on this camera. 

Thank you and sorry for my bad english.

Welcome, Nachapon, and there's no need to apologise for your English, which is fine.

I recommend contacting Lars Netopil who is an expert in this area.
