Leica IIIc Luftwaffen-Eigentum with 5cm f/3.5 Elmar Luftwaffen Eigentum

$8,000.00 $7,750.00 Price Reduced!
RS365676

Mint- / Excellent+ condition. A hard-to-find camera in unusual condition. This camera was delivered to the Luftwaffe on November 13, 1940. This delivery was before the Leica Factory was delivering paired cameras and lenses. The lens was delivered either early November or possibly early December of the same year.

Note that this camera and lens have not had the Luftwaffen engravings defaced - rather unusual for a camera brought back into the U.S. following the war.

Fast shutter speeds are accurate; slow speeds do not work properly - tap the shutter, and it will fire with the proper timing, hold the shutter release and the shutter stays open. Focus is smooth. Rangefinder shows a bit of haze. Lens shows heavy haze, and what appears to be separation between the elements. Aperture blades are clean, aperture works well. Vulcanite has a crack, as shown in the images. Bottom plate shows brassing and a few dings and scrapes. Ever-ready case is in very nice condition. Bakelite front lens cap included.
