Very rare and absolutely original Leica Model C Standard, with calfskin leather covering. Only around 180 examples of the calfskin Leicas were produced in 1930s. Many of these have been later replaced during restoration by Leitz with regular vulcanite when the genuine leather wore off. So, the number of original calfskin Leicas still in existence today is very low. The offered example is in good condition. It comes with an unnumbered Elmar 3.5/50mm and ESNEL case. It was delivered on 21.02.1931 with the correct delivery code LEANEKALB.
