LEICA 3B SCREW MOUNT 35mm CAMERA THIS IS THE IIIb MODEL AND THE SERIAL NUMBER VERIFIES THE DATE AS 1939 ALSO KNOWN AS THE RANGEFINDER, IT HAS HAD A FLASH SYNC CONVERSION FITTED The camera shows some signs of wear, has a little brassing and light scratches in places, but is generally very good for a 75 year old ! The curtains appear to be in good order, I can't see any tears or pinholes It comes with a Summar lens which is clear and also seems to operate correctly The body is good with no obvious damage or dents I bought this to add to my collection of vintage cameras, and honestly know very little about them ! It came from a pro photographer who assured me it worked fine, but I can't promise as it's only ever been a display piece for me Sadly, circumstances force me to sell this brilliantly engineered German camera, but I'm sure with a good clean and perhaps a service, it would make a great addition to any collection, this is a fast appreciating classic. I also have a few manuals , which I am happy to include with this sale I have been as honest as I can with regards the condition, but please feel free to ask any questions you may have Thank you for looking
