Leica I Mod.A Elmax *

Early first type 'Elmax' (technically similar to Anastigmat Leica) in perfect working and absolutely original condition. With all the early features of the first Leica cameras (six speed shutter, frame counter engraved 0-40, mushroom release, low profile winding knobs, coarse grained vulcanite, ratcheted film transport action, five element Elmax lens with datum line, first version base plate and finder - this is one of the rarest Leica cameras in original condition as most were later upgraded by Leitz when serviced. With rare unmarked front cap and the first everready case ESNEL without set screw
