Description from the seller

Leica M5 (Refurbished)
Serial number: 1350805
It presents a unique aesthetic combining a “hammered” finish with chrome-on-faceplate elements in black chrome.
This refurbishment was carried out by a professional specialist. The process involved stripping the original chrome plating from each part, then applying several layers of high-quality oven-cured glossy enamel. A four-layer application technique of thin coatings ensures a durable finish resistant to chipping; this meticulous work guarantees longevity while preventing oxidation and paint peeling.
The device is in excellent condition and perfectly functional, with an impeccable and elegant finish. All components have been tested; the body is in very good condition and the shutter speeds are precise. The rangefinder mechanism works correctly and the shutter curtains are perfectly flat and defect-free.
The viewfinder has been serviced by Leica professionals; it is bright and clear, enabling 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 light meter cell has not undergone rigorous calibration testing; therefore, absolute measurement accuracy is not guaranteed.
Delivered with a Voigtländer brass adapter ring (L39 mount to LM) and a body cap.
compliant with the photos.
Note: all functions will undergo rigorous testing before shipment, and full details will be recorded.
Sold as is.
