Leica I (A) mit Elmax, 1925 Leitz, Wetzlar. 3-stellige (!) Seriennummer: 710. Frühe Leica A mit dem seltenen "Elmax 3,5/50" (Nickel). Zeiten: Z, 20, 30, 40, 60, 100, 200, 500. Die Kamera stammt aus Familienbesitz und wurde niemals ins Werk geschickt. Sie ist somit eine der wenigen sehr frühen Leicas, die keine "Verjüngung" erfahren haben. Vulkanit-Bezug geklebt. Kleine Delle neben Transportknopf. Verschluß hängt. - Eine der ganz großen Leica-Raritäten im Originalzustand. Restaurierung lohnt!
