This is easily the ugliest 1a that we have seen. If you are looking for a pre-war Leica that looks like an historical relic but do not want to ruin a valuable camera then this is a rare opportunity.
Amazingly, the camera does work somewhat The shutter fires and the speeds vary, though the curtains are slow. The curtains are intact with no visible damage. The aperture and focus are surprisingly smooth. The real shocker is that the view through the finder is very clear. The lens is also surprisingly clear, with only a slight haze on the rim.
