COLLECTORS NOTES
This 1934 Leica III sits within the early production period of the III series, featuring the classic Barnack layout and Leica’s LTM mount. Clean, working examples from this era with intact vulcanite remain highly desirable. The repaired case is typical of pre‑war leather accessories and does not detract from the camera’s collector value.
