Help with quoting this Leica I mod A Elmar

Postby Diedefre » Sun Jun 04, 2023 1:51 pm

Hello !

I found a Leica I mod A (4 digits), but there is a leather covering, that I haven’t found in this camera history. I would like to know if it’s potentially original ? And also there are some traces of black painting on the body of the camera. The rest is very clean .
I’m
Just wandering if the camera has been retouched ?
And how much would you pay for it ?
Many thanks

Yes, the paint has certainly been painted over and poorly unfortunately. The leather also looks after market. Not worth a lot because of these issues, probably 4-500
