Please help me identify

I a quired this Leica and am lost on cameras, any help identifying and value would be greatly appreciated.

Forget valuation, it is not appropriate on this site for legal reasons, it could only be reliably done by an expert examining the equipment in great detail, or by the price realized in a sale or auction. The pictures are insufficient to really fully identify the camera...serial numbers can be looked up online, but often cameras were further modified by the Wetzlar factory at the behest of the owners. Do you perhaps have the original bill of sale? Also much better pictures of the camera body and the lens itself as well as the shutter curtains, might prove helpful. The camera base appears to be a motor winder.

Please excuse my poor skills, hope these help the little boxes have a Kodak adapter ring, a Wratten filter and what ever that white round piece is.

A 1937 IIIa by the serial number, modified later at the factory to add IIIf-style flash synchronisation = 'IIIa sync'. Don' t know about the accessory base plate. The white thing looks like an Invercone for incident light readings on one of the Weston Master exposure meters.

Thank you while im still lost you have give me a direction, the thing is going to be posted as soon as i can determine fair value to ask it will be sold.

Wasn't there an early clockwork / spring driven film advance for Leica? Could that be what is on the base? Not at all sure, just a random thought from the rag bag...

I think Sandy is right - the base plate might be a SCNOO, an early trigger winder (perhaps with a missing trigger?). In good (complete) condition this might be worth more than the camera. The lens is a 5cm Summar.

After looking closer with my limited knowledge it is a winder of sort, it appears to need some repair. Anyone recommend a good repair, sales or buyer in Arkansas

Assume you don't also have the regular baseplate? A broken SCNOO would make the camera more complicated to sell, especially if there's a key part missing. This is how it's supposed to work:

Yep thats exactely the camera and the winder it has, the problem is the trigger finger part is broken off and missing and there is no other base for it..... Im not looking to make a killing on this thing, really would like to see it go to someone who really appreciates the quality and the Leica at a reasonable price, tomorrow ill hunt for a reputable repair shop and weigh cost to repair vs. what itll then be worth or do i fire sale it as is.. Thanks for all the help!

The SCNOO is a pretty exotic and specialised thing to repair, and I suspect it wouldn't be cost-effective to fix before selling - someone would have to find or fabricate a trigger, and the tape is probably also lost:

but you might call one of the well-known Leica repair places in case they are interested:

You can get further advice and maybe sell your gear on one of these forums (but take care to check their rules on posting adverts first!):

The lens, hood and other accessories can each be sold separately. You could find a conventional IIIa base plate to complete the camera without the SCNOO, but it will probably cost something like 1/3 of the value of the camera.
