VTG Leica D.R.P camera Leitz lens camera & case misc For Sale

German company, Leica, made this handsome Vintage rangefinder camera. The company was founded by Ernst Leitz in 1914. This particular Leica IIIa D.R.P. camera was made in 1938, according to its serial no. 275214. The top of the camera reads, \"Leica D.R.P, Ernst Leitz Wetzlar, Germany\", along with the serial number. The lens reads, \"Ernst Leitz Wetzlar; Summar f=5cm 1:2 No. 418511\". This camera has not been film-tested. All of the gizmos and knobs turn freely. The bottom opens/closes with a little bit of work. I couldn\'t get the bottom to close perfectly straight. The black bar on the bottom is for mounting onto a tripod. It must come off with a screwdriver. The camera does not sit upright very well with it on. Also included with the camera is the vintage original Leica leather case, a filter, camera accessory marked \"E. Leitz New York\", measuring tape (inches/cm), and flash cord/button.

This just in :the black bar at the bottom of the camera is actually a flash sync accessory provided by Leica NY in the late 1930s. It also does have the thread mount for tripod mounting. The possible reason the bottom plate does not seem to fit correctly onto the camera is that there is an alignment required between the pin on the bottom plate to the slot on the small silver wheel in the camera bottom.
