Leica III Mod. F “Cutaway”
1935
A very rare, original Leica III Mod. F “Cutaway”, engraved on the top plate (inside of the rangefinder bay) with number “299”.
An article in Vidom no.5 reveals an interesting history of this rare camera – the cutaways have been once covered by the previous owner, to be able to use the camera for actual photography, it is now reversed to its original condition
