When the West German Army (Bundeswehr) was established after 1955, the Leica M cameras formed a large share of the photographic 35 mm cameras ordered for the troops. Rare versions are the Leica M3, M1 and later also M4 models in olive paint finish. Of the Leica M3, less than 300 units were prepared in this finish in total. The Leitz factory records of the camera assembly department list olive M3s from serial number 927671 to 927734.
