Leica I black nickel, 1930, with chrome Elmar 3.5/5cm lens, cosmetic condition good and not tested for function.

AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller


PLEASE READ
Because my cameras and lenses are collectors items to me and I never used them with a film, I mark the cameras as “not tested” and sell them as collectors item.
However, functions such as shutter, rangefinder, light meter, mirror, etc. are checked for operation (not for accuracy) and lenses are judged by eye.
From the description and test results can often be concluded whether the object could function properly, but I cannot give any guarantee on this.

DESCRIPTION
Black Nickel Leica I, produced in 1930. Body cosmetically and technically in good condition, working. Elmar lens in very used condition, but glass is clear with small surface scratches. Fikus lens hood and filter included.
