Very rare war-time camera in 100% original, almost new and perfect working condition, with Elmar 3.5/5cm no.432743. The camera (LAQOO) was delivered on June 11th, 1941 to Bln. 25587. Literature James L. Lager (ed.), Leica Illustrated History, Vol. I, 1993, p. 62. During the hectic war years, a mere 427 units of the Leica IIId were produced. It is the first Leica model with built-in self-timer, a technical feature which would later become a standard for many Leica models to follow. The offered camera is from the first series, the 45th Leica produced with a die-cast shutter crate. It is the best IIId we have ever seen - ex Jim Jannard collection
