RARE Horizontal Sharkskin Leica IIIc Film Rangefinder Camera Body Dim RF

Description: This is a rare variant of the Leica IIIc with the very unusual horizontal shark skin vulacanite. Only a select number of cameras had shark skin vulcanite following WWII and even less had horizontal shark skin. For more information, this article explains (if you dont read German, copy and paste the text into Google Translate). http://nattenberg.org/public/pdf/Vidom98_Sharkskin_quer.pdf The camera itself is in great shape with no chips to the vulcanite, and the shutter fires on fast speeds (slow speeds are not working). The rangefinder patch is dim unfortunately. The only real sign of wear to the camera is on the right side by the film advance where the chrome is chipped. Comes with leather case. This would be a great camera to get restored and would make a great addition to any collection!
