luigi bertolotti Posted June 25, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 25, 2009 I can search for some docs at home... expecially Filippo Giunta massive book "Leica SM - a systematic approach". I have the idea that yours is not a so easy answer... in wartime, there have been some confusions about finishings/batches/numbers etc... Btw I think that, strictly speaking, the last "regular" model made in black is probably the Leica 250... a sort of special model, but indeed a normally listed/coded one (differently from the military black postwar LTMs, that were "special order models") Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabears Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted June 25, 2009 Thank you Luigi,I wait for your update. I think too 250 was the last black one. I'm curious about last black not special model,I mean like standard,II or III cameras. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ismon Posted June 25, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 25, 2009 The last of the regular production Black LTM cameras was #353916, a model 250 made in 1953. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabears Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share #5 Posted June 25, 2009 Thank you Ismon,do you know even last black standard and III batches? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
luigi bertolotti Posted June 25, 2009 Share #6 Posted June 25, 2009 Difficult to search for precise data on batches... tonight I found : - Leica Standard Black s/n 325329 (1939) , can be the last made in black - Leica III Black s/n 310087 (1938) ... apparently, the last made in black - Leica IIIc s/n 389347 , "civilian" K model (no military engraving), black (no gray, typical of IIIcK) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sabears Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share #7 Posted June 25, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) Thank you Luigi,very useful! Did you find these numbers on your Giunta book? The IIIC cameras I think would be the ones for internal use (?) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
