Vintage 1936 Ernst Leitz LEICA IIIa camera with flash baseplate and Summar lens. For Sale

Here we have a classic German miniature (35mm film) camera, fully working with all shutter speeds, including the slow ones, sounding accurate. Having said that, one second may be a little fast. All knobs are smooth in operation. The rangefinder works perfectly with great contrast. Cosmetically this example is in very good condition with no dings at all, a few bright marks from use and age stains on the baseplate. There is a very lightly scratched 5 digit number in front of the serial number but it is barely visible. Exactly which baseplate this is and which flash it suits I have no idea but it's probably for an early Leitz Blitz unit.The vulcanite covering is somewhat sun bleached and is a little loose in the centre of the back but otherwise is in excellent shape with no chips or cracks. An awesome body for use!!Like nearly all Summar lenses this 1934 one is a bit hazy. There is some chrome missing from wear but again there are no dings. Focus and apertures are smooth in operation. Like all the Barnack Leicas it is important to wind the shutter BEFORE changing shutter speeds.Anyway it looks awesome and worthy of any collection! Postage within Australia or overseas is at cost. If actual shipping is less than quoted I will refund the difference.
