1942 - Leica IIIc Grey Paint

A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION OF THIS BATCH OF LEICA IIIC GREY PAINT WAS DELIVERED DIRECTLY TO "BERLIN" (HEADQUARTERS). THE "PHOTO KINO FRITZ - BERLIN" STICKER ON THE BASEPLATE OF THE UNIT IN OUR COLLECTION CONFIRMS THAT THIS CAMERA CIRCULATED THROUGH A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHIC DEALER IN BERLIN AT THAT TIME. DURING THE WAR, SUCH EQUIPMENT WAS TYPICALLY SUPPLIED TO MILITARY OFFICERS STATIONED IN BERLIN, GOVERNMENT CORRESPONDENTS, OR HIGH-RANKING PERSONNEL.
