scak456 Posted July 16, 2022 Share #1 Posted July 16, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Has anyone seen one of these before? I'm considering buying this body from a UK retailer but I've never seen any M10s with the same top plate. I very much doubt that its fake as its being sold by a reputable authorised dealer. However, I would like to understand why it has the red logo on top before buying it. Any info greatly appreciated. Many thanks Simon Welcome, dear visitor!

Gobert Posted July 16, 2022 Share #2 Posted July 16, 2022 Probably tailor made by Leica factory. They do this when requested and you have to pay for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyLeicaWorld Posted July 16, 2022 Share #4 Posted July 16, 2022 It was like 350 euros for the engraving at Wetzlar .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've done that with other cameras using a paint stick. The paint is like a solid wax, but dries hard. Super easy to do. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Brown Posted September 23, 2022 Share #8 Posted September 23, 2022 I have had many things custom engraved on my Leicas, including such script. Really no hassle at all. Regarding red color - less than five minutes with acrylic paint and there you have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
