Advice before selling my MP body

Hi all! First of all, I wish you all happy holidays.

Unfortunately, I have to sell my MP. It has something that makes it a bit unique: the engraving “Made in Germany” is incorrect and actually reads “Made in Ermany.”

I’m curious to know whether this kind of engraving error means anything in the Leica world, or if it’s simply a mistake with no particular value. Of course, I will point this out to any interested buyer who hasn’t noticed it, but I would first like to know if this is something collectors might be interested in.

Thanks for your help!

Happy Holidays to you as well!

I have no idea what the answer may be but how was it explained to you when you came into this camera?

I find it hard to believe that the factory would have let this pass QC but what do I know..

It seems a bit bizarre to me that anyone would pay a premium for this kind of mistake, but I am not a collector. To be honest, it would give me a bit of pause and make me suspect the rest of the camera might not be well quality controlled either. I wonder if Leica might just fix this for free, if you were to send it back to them...my guess is that they might. It is a pretty embarrassing error.
