Description from the seller

Leica M5 (Restored)
Serial number: 1350805
It presents a unique aesthetic that combines a hammered finish with black chrome façade elements.
This refurbishment work was carried out by a professional specialist. The process involved stripping the original chrome plating from each piece, then applying several coats of high-quality oven-cured glossy enamel. A four-coat application technique ensures a durable finish resistant to chipping; this meticulous work guarantees longevity while preventing oxidation and paint flaking.
The camera is in excellent condition and fully functional, with a flawless and elegant finish. All components have been tested; the body is in very good condition and the shutter speeds are accurate. The rangefinder mechanism operates correctly and the shutter curtains are perfectly flat and defect-free.
The viewfinder has been serviced by Leica professionals; it is bright and clear, allowing fast and precise focusing thanks to the yellow dot.
The light meter cell activates correctly and includes the original battery; the battery compartment is free of corrosion. Please note that the cell has not undergone rigorous calibration testing; therefore, absolute measurement precision cannot be guaranteed.
Included with the camera is a Voigtländer brass adapter ring (L39 mount to LM) and a body cap.
As shown in the photos.
Note: all functions will undergo thorough testing prior to shipment, and full details will be recorded.
Sold as is.
