DrStrangelove Posted August 17, 2023 Share #1 Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) Dear Forum-Members, I am searching for No. 738 of the M6 Special Edition "Ein Stück Leica" (https://cameraquest.com/LM6Ein.htm) In 2006 my uncle, a Leica enthusiast, died in Düsseldorf Germany and I inherited his collection, together with a load of debt and liabilities. So it was with heavy heart that I had to sell all his gear. Today I am a photographer myself and would wish that I had at least kept one of his cameras. So I tried to contact the dealer I sold the cameras to, but of course those have been sold long ago and he did not keep track of the buyers. But there is one last chance: I still have the papers for the mentioned No. 738 (Serial No. estimated 2300738). So if anyone of you could get me any hint on where this camera ist right now and whether it is for sale it would be greatly appreciated.

Borna Posted November 9, 2023 Share #3 Posted November 9, 2023 Hope you find it. As it is sold in Germany, I assume you have tried German photography forums and also the German part of this forum? Wish you the best luck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrStrangelove Posted November 17, 2023 Author Share #9 Posted November 17, 2023 Guys, thank you so so much! This is the one. Sorry for my late response. This is so amazing! I will look into it. South-Korea is as far as I never thought it would be. It will be challenging, but we will see! I will keep you updated! Again: thank you so much! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M9reno Posted November 18, 2023 Share #12 Posted November 18, 2023 I never thought I'd see the story of Polycrates' ring played out in real life, in Leica Forum of all places. Dr Strangelove, you seem to be such a lucky man that it actually worries me! 😀 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpark114 Posted November 18, 2023 Share #13 Posted November 18, 2023 I'm glad to be of help, and can't believe something like this can happen in this way. I was looking for another Leica M film camera, this time one of the classics, and found the camera. I remembered seeing this thread something about ein stuck version, but never really believed it to be the same camera. Really excited to be the part of story finding your sentimental camera, but do be careful dealing with the seller! I really don't wish my sincere help turning into a nightmare.... 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted November 21, 2023 Share #18 Posted November 21, 2023 Yes - I translated the Korean text. If you click the button (using an old laptop not connected to my Apple ID and using the hotspot on my throwaway phone) the site disappears. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
