Leica IIIf black paint 'Swedish Army'

Only 100 cameras with special black painted Elmar 3.5/5cm were manufactured for the Swedish military in 1956, they were winterised to enable them to function in arctic conditions. This camera is in 100% beautiful original, never restored condition with matching black Elmar 3.5/5cm no.1427118. The authenticity has been confirmed by Mr. Ottmar Michaely (included written expertise). The IIIf black is not only one of the top collectors items, but also one of the most attractive military Leica cameras ever, almost impossible to find in this condition!
