Only 100 IIIf cameras with special black painted Elmar 3.5/5cm were manufactured for the Swedish military in 1957; they were winterized to enable them to function in arctic conditions. The offered camera is the fourth one ever produced! It is in 100% original, never restored condition. It has a beautiful patina around the edges and matching black Elmar 3.5/5cm no.1427070, including a matching black paint lens cap and original leather case stamped with three crowns on the back.
The IIIf black is not only one of the top collectors' items but also one of the most attractive military Leica cameras ever made—this fourth one is even more special.
