Leica IIIf “Swedish Army” black paint

Only 100 Leica cameras with special black painted Elmar ƒ3.5/5cm were manufactured for the Swedish military in 1956, they were “winter-ised” to enable them to function in Arctic sub-zero weather conditions. This camera is in very fine, 100% original, never restored condition with matching black Elmar ƒ3.5/5cm lens. The IIIf black is not only one of the top collectors items, but also one of the most attractive military Leica cameras ever!
