Leica II - converted from black to chrome - 1932 - Elmar 4/9cm and VIDOM finder - working, not tested Rangefinder camera

This Leica II body has been made in 1932 and started it’s life as a black camera, it has been later rechromed. Finish seem slighly diferent from original. Considering it’s age the camera is pretty well preserved, the shutter works. but times aren't checked. Camera comes in unrestored condition and is an interesting add-on to any leica collection. Due to it’s age of over 80 years this camera is sold as a collectors item. Accurate functionality has not been checked. Shutter has been tested on hearing only. The Elmar 4/9cm lens (283916, 1935) is in good condition. User marks, but clear and scratch free glass. The lens comes with a UV filter, Fikus lens hood and Vidom finder. The finder is modified, the top flash shoe is (for unknown reason) removed. Look at the photos, because they are part of the description. De camera will be well packed and shipped registered. ------------------- The cameras and lenses I offer are collector's items. This means I haven't photographed them, and they haven't been tested with film. Functions such as the shutter, rangefinder, film advance, mirror, etc., are checked for proper operation, and lenses are visually inspected. Although my description often indicates whether the item will function properly, I cannot guarantee this. -------------------
