Leica 3a Monte en Sarre Camera (1949-1951)
In the period 1949-1951 about 500 Leica IIIa cameras were assembled at St.
Ingbert in french occupied zone of germany by the Saroptico company. These
cameras carried the engraving "Monte en Sarre"
(assembled in Sarre) beneath the word "Germany" on the-plate. In this way they
avoided the high tariff imposed on foreign cameras imported into France. They
were all sold in France or the French colonies. Later examples had a film speed
reminder in the wind-on knob as introduced on the Leica IIIf in 1950. Some also
have IIIf-type synchronization, although this may have been fitted later as a
conversion.
Camera is in fully working order. COMPLETE
