For Sale: Leica M3 Double Stroke (DS) – First Batch, 1954
I’m offering a Leica M3 Double Stroke, serial 703983, produced in 1954.
This camera belongs to the first batch of Leica M3 ever made — within the first ~4,000 units, making it highly desirable for collectors.
Condition
• Overall very clean and well-preserved
• Mint appearance with only minimal surface scratches on the top plate, caused by prior use with a light meter
• No dents, no deep scratches, no corrosion
• Engravings are crisp and clear
• Leatherette is original and in excellent condition
Functionality
• All functions work perfectly with no issues
• Shutter speeds sound accurate and consistent
• Film advance, rewind, and rangefinder operation are smooth
• Rangefinder patch is clear and properly aligned with good contrast
