sw12dz Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Okay, I have checked the archives and I know that DAG uses "92", Sherry uses "K", etc. I have an M2 with what looks like a "W". Does anyone know who uses that stamp? I've been using the camera for quite some time and it's one of my favourites (I can see the 50mm lines while wearing glasses). Everything works as it should. I'm just curious to know who worked on it and if possible, send them an email with the serial number of the camera in order to find out when they serviced it.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canfred Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Harry , du bist ein Witzbold but I forgive you. Just because Leica got into Austrian hands its not retrospective you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canfred Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hi Stu, this is propably Garry Winogrands old M2 if it is it would be well worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw12dz Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 Manfred, I wish it was some famous photographers camera, then I would have something to brag about. However, it is definitely not well worn. I just want to find out who uses that seal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furcafe Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Sounds like a question for the LHSA. Based on their current repair listing (http://www.lhsa.org/repair.html), maybe the "W" stands for Wetzlarer Feine Mechanik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill_barton Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 A number of years ago there was a Freddy Werner that was in the Wash DC area that repaired Leica's and was using a "W" from a old script typewriter on the cameras he repaired. He is now retired and living in Sarasota FL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furcafe Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Looking @ the picture, I agree w/Bill. That "W" looks awfully like the 1 used by the Washington Senators (& the current Nationals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
