Hi all,

could someone help me to identify this camera. It’s a five digit serial number 54806 which indicate a Leica I built 1930. But I understand there is several versions and I have seen many that has been rebuilt. Is this one original or modified? On the back it has a small round ”window”. Let me know if you need more pictures.

The two screws in a row seem well placed to hold the hockey stick from the model A.

At the top of this page you can find the switch "Leica Wiki", then follow the screw mounts.

The hockey stick screws are there of the very first Leica A from 1930.

Thank you so much! I’ll do some digging and I’m sure I’ll get back with some more questions!
