Lager (ed.), Leica Illustrated History, Vol. II, Lenses, 1994, p. 188: The “Sabre Photographic Supply Company“, located in the state of Illinois in the USA, only produced the well known “Sabre Stock” Leica rifle, custom-made for the screw-mount and M-series Leicas, for one year (1956 to 1957), but this was never officially sold by Leitz. Therefore, we can only estimate how many of these were sold in the USA – conservative estimates ranging between two and three dozen. However, the “Sabre Stock”, painstakingly crafted in keeping with Leitz quality standards, was not only a piece of well thought-out photographic equipment for Leica cameras, but is also a joy to behold for any lover of high precision products. The use of high-quality materials as well as great accuracy and precision in its making led to a handy Leica rifle, sure to fascinate any Leica fan to this day.
