Leica M3 FS/T

psychosplinter · 02-20-2012, 06:22 AM

SOLD

I have a Leica M3, serial # 1133135 up for grabs. It has a name engraved on the top plate, CHET A. MAXWELL. It has been used, but by no means is it in rough shape. It will not come with a lens. This is a user's camera, not one that should sit on a collectors shelf. I know how hard it is for many to grab a hold of an M3 past s# 1,000,000 as they are being bought up by collectors, so I figured it is time to let this go to an artist who can use it.

Trade/Sale price is $800 OBO, $750 for members.
I'll look at these as far as trades go. You may have to include cash depending what is offered. I will consider (and favor) multiple marker trades:
CCM
PPS (pumps)
Avratech
KP2
Gargoyles
Box guns
other high end pumps...surprise me.
Desert Fox '98 Deluxe + $$$

Feel free to offer up, worst I can say is no. I'm not looking for any electronic markers. I am cautious of shipping out of the lower 48, but if the offer is too good to pass up I will consider shipping anywhere.

I will have more pictures up hopefully later today. I got 6"+ of snow last night and I still have to take care of stuff on the farm. If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Pics are up! I can take more if you need me to. I can't take pictures of the frame lines but they are still very bright.

Is that a single or double stroke version? When was it last CLA´d?

psychosplinter · 02-20-2012, 08:00 AM

It is single stroke (I think all M3's past ~s#910000 are single stroke). I was told when it was given to me four years ago that it had recently had a CLA, but I never received any hard proof on that. I went out and shot one roll of film with it...the rest of the time it has sat on my shelf.

Bump! Some more info on this camera, it was made in the latter half of 1965.
