Very rare Leica M3 in near mint condition produced in Canada, engraved "Ernst Leitz Canada Limited Midland Ontario" on the top plate. Usually, the Leica M cameras assembled in Canada were equipped with top plates from the Wetzlar production. Just a handful of examples carried the “Leitz Canada“ engravings and were intended as samples. The offered camera is in beautiful, near-mint condition, comes with a matching M39 Midland Summarit 1.5/5cm no.1246812 (with M adapter and front cap, near mint condition, optics with only slight coating flaws), leather case and a maker's box with matching serial number
