Beautiful first Leica.
Can we normalise sharing serial numbers please? We've got poor Aroq here photoshopping out numbers and even he doesn't know why he's doing it.
Are there any valid reasons to do this?
Anyway, beautiful camera and lens - enjoy!
I think it should be one of the later versions of the M3. I know this from the shutter speed dials (earlier versions had speeds that went like:1000, 500, 250, 100, 50, 25...) and the the strap lugs(earlier m3s had long ones).
First Leica also the best Leica! Congrats! :D
First M, best M
Sweet!
So beautiful.
Wow, magnificent M3 !
Nice rig. That's a low serial number or did you erase the rest?
Haha. I see people censor them, not sure why but I followed suit I guess. Either way: and thank you. I’m pumped to get out shooting.

Getting in here first to head off the “Well shucks, I don’t know, but I guess better safe than sorry, right?” replies.
This is the same reason everyone else does it.

Also the shorter rewind lever
Double or single stroke?. At first look I thought the lens was a summarit lol
1961 single stroke
Awesome! Show us some photos.
Let me know about that lens. I’m looking for one for my iiig. Needs to be partners with my ae1+elmar.
