john_wayne4 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Does anyone know whose seal "B" is? I saw a Leica M4 recently that had a weird seal where the "L" or "C" would be, it was a script "B." I called Don Goldberg and he had no clue but has seen them around and told me it wasn't an original seal from Leica. So whose seal is it?

alex_lofquist Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 A script capital "B" is a double s, and sounded that way rather than "z". Does that help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred_c1 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 The German letter Eszett (ß) is NOT a 'scripted capital "B"': http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ß Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_wayne4 Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Alex and Fred maybe on to something. Maybe the Leica repair guy's from Germany. Someone on photo.net should know this guy. Who's the mystery man? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
