Do you know which model is this?

Hello! Found this Leica in a market but I couldn't understand the model. Specially it has a hole in the front (down my finger) that seems to be for a remote shooter.

I checked the family tree and didn't find this specific model.

Would you help me? What would be a price for it?

Thanks!

Welcome. We don’t do valuations for legal reasons, but also because the technical state of the camera cannot be determined through the internet. This is a good resource for values. The "hole" appears to be a flash sync contact, a quite common modification.

I approved the post for the experts to determine the model.  My first guess would be a iiif.  Please provide the serial number and a few more images of the top, interior, etc.

I don't see a flash sync dial under the shutter speed, or an RF focus lever under the rewind knob. So I'd guess a Model III or IIIa. If it has 1/1000 shutter speed a IIIa.

I second The message from TomB a III or may be a IIIa

As above, it appears to be a III or a IIIa. You can tell the difference by the shutter speed dial - only the IIIa has a '1000' setting. A less likely possibility would be an earlier model that has been upgraded to the III/IIIa specification by the factory - you can look up the serial number to check its original identity. It's definitely not a later model like a IIIc or IIIf. The flash sync socket is a third party modification that will reduce the value to collectors but may not bother users unless some internal change causes problems with the camera. Lots of other things can affect both value and usability. It's common to find dim rangefinder second images, dry mechanisms, sticky shutters or shutter blind damage after more than 80 years, though pretty much anything can be fixed by a service. You should also check the condition of the lens behind that cap, especially for fungus or significant abrasions, and make sure the focus and aperture operate smoothly. Looks like a filter is attached to one of the RF windows, perhaps an ORAKO or something similar.
