Much more rare than the original Leica dummy cameras – which mostly appear with a dummy 5 cm lens – are Leitz dummy lenses of different focal lengths. Certainly, for lenses which were already rare as such, dummy versions were not produced in larger quantities. If we look back to the pre-war years (see the following lot), dummy versions are especially rare – one of the reasons being that they were a source of scarce spare parts during and directly after World War II. To find a complete set of a pre-war Leica dummy model with matching lenses today is almost impossible.

For this items, if sold and/or shipped within the E.C. the premium is 27,37% (including VAT) plus 19% VAT on the hammer price (in total 46,37%)
