The Wermacht Heer has touched down to meet the ReporterAny other IIIC 'K's/ 250s around here?
Apologies for the poor photo, I'll try to get another up soon!

That is a nice IIIc K grey paint W.H. Does the Summitar lens comes along with the camera?

Sadly not! I'm liaising for a Same Era (Same year) W.H. Elmar at the moment, it's not the same issue/delivery date, but same era will do
And I just got the original W.H. case with black felt and the W.H. stamp, so yeah, this set is almost complete

A very nice collection...even Stephan Gandy of CameraQuest WTB...http://www.rangefinderforum.com/photopost-classifieds/showproduct.php/product/27485/title/wanted-3a-leica-iiic-kchrome-or-greywartime-lenses/cat/10
The body paints looks great...W.H. (Germany Army) seem rarer than Luftwaffen-Eigentum (Germany Air Force Property - during WWII)...
Please share more photos of this collectible beauty...does it have a white or red "K" stamped shutter?...How does the original camera case with black felt looks like...and where they stamped the W.H. on the case?
If you plan to shoot with it, you need a orange contrasty filter "ORAKO" (Leitz product code) to increase the contrast of the focusing image...anyone have spare "ORAKO" or "OKARO" to sell?

Hoping to try out my Zeiss 21 f2.8 on my trip to Batu Pahat tom. Bringing the 75 for portraits.
Digital shot on GRD3 edited in Silver Eflex Pro.
Nice! Have a safe trip and look forward to your pics bro.

Why thank you! Yeah, the Luftwaffen-Eigentums are the most common of WWII cameras, plus the number of copies/fakes just doesn't make sense for much collector's value to me :/ Pity though!
The Kreigsmarine ones are a different story altogether..
And don't worry my friend, I'll get down to get proper images of this W.H. and my 250GG soon hopefully by midweek
It's a White 'K' on the shutter, but it's rarity lies in that it is not a normal 'K' IIIC, which has the ball bearing not only on the shutter roller pivots (Half Race) but also on the rewind knob assemblies (Full Race)
Has been verified by Don Goldberg, apparently it's only the 4th he's seen. I am writing to Jim Lager about this now, so yup, I'll get back to you on that.The case stamped W.H. near the Leitz Weltzar stamp, pictures for that too. Apparently the case is extremely rare, so much so even Westlicht doesn't have them..
I'll be sending pictures to Jim Lager too, and this too I'll keep you guys updated.Well the Summitar, it's a pity it isn't it's original lens, but nonetheless it's a US Army Wartime Summitar Coated (Rare, Early example) so I don't know what to do with it for now?
P.S. Nice SNCOO there!

B+W & leica I think cant be that different la...
B+W does make good glasses for filters.
