4287 Leica M3 black paint Second Batch %u20ac20.000*no. 993720, 1960, condition B+ %u20ac 40.000 %u2013 45.000Sought-after and original Leica M3 black paint from the second official production batch, comprising cameras below serial number 1,000,000 and manufactured in 1960. This early series represents less than 20% of the total black paint M3 production, underlining its relative scarcity within the already rare black paint variants. The offered camera is preserved in original, unrestored condition, displaying an attractive and honest patina from use. The black lacquer finish shows natural brassing on the edges and handling points, consistent with age and professional application, giving the camera a highly desirable appearance among collectors.
