Leica Ic SABRE Gun Stock + 4/400 Telyt *

The complete set includes a Leica Ic no.457010, Telyt 5/40 cm no.1746807, Visoflex I no.35725 with 45° PEGOO, SABRE gunstock with cable release – all in perfect condition. The 'Sabre Photographic Supply Company', located in the state of Illinois in the USA, only produced the well known 'Sabre Stock' Leica rifle for one year (1956 to 1957), but this was never officially sold by Leitz. Conservative production estimates are 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.
