    --------------
    This double-stroke Leica M3 is in very good cosmetic condition.
    Clean inside.
    Has not been used in years, but:
    Shutter works on all speeds -- I cannot guarantee the timing but it looks pretty good.
    Very clean inside.
    Good clear view.
    Delay/timer lever runs.
    Socket covers, body cap & take-up spool included.
    Small chips in covering on each side at bottom front.
    *Residual mustiness as it has been in storage.
    Is being aired out.*
    **This camera had a film stuck in it and the shutter was jammed.
    I do not know if any damage occurred.
    The film was cut to remove it, and the shutter now works as stated above.**
    This is an estate item that was used and well cared for by avid photographers for many years, but since it is UNTESTED I have been advised to list under "parts", "AS IS".
    Smoke free home.
    Canada & USA shipping only, verified eBay addresses only.
    No exceptions.
    Don't ask.
    *** AMERICAN BIDDERS: PLEASE READ!! ***
    Shipping cost includes tracking, insurance for full value (no markdowns) and signature delivery confirmation.
    Shipping by UPS because Canada Post provides inadequate insurance.
    NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CUSTOMS/DUTY/TAX.
    I do not have information on US customs fees but they will likely apply.
    Items ship from an island where UPS only picks up 2 days a week, and not always reliably.
    The other option is for me to make an all-day trip to the mainland, so in that case shipping will be done when all items sold in this round of auctions have been paid for.
    This may mean a week’s “handling time”.
    Your item will be shipped as soon as it can be arranged; I will do my best.
    Please do not bid if you do not agree to the above logistics.
