Need help with this

Hello all,

 

I just joined these forums as I need some advice. My father passed away a few weeks ago and as I have been going through his things I came across a camera, I know nothing about about cameras, but know this thing must be fairly rare.

 

Does anyone know where i can get this appraised or some more information on it? Pics attached

 

It appears one was auctioned on-line by a company in Honk Kong in 2017 (HB 025) and the expected price was HK $120,000 ~ 180,000, however I know of a Leica Auction House, based in Austria, I think that they would be able to provide an accurate appraisal.

 

Here is a link to their website: [LINK].

 

Good luck.

 

I am sorry for your loss.

Westlicht, above, is probably your best source especially if you're planning to put it up for auction. If you just want to provide insurance coverage there are other reliable sources.

The Leica M6 Platinum 'Sultan of Brunei Silver Jubilee Edition' is described on these pages:

 

Leica M6 Sultan of Negeri Brunei Darulsalam Silver jubilee GOLD Edition with gold plated SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/50mm, 1992

 

Leica M6 Sultan of Negara Brunei Darussalam Platinum Edition with Diamond & Platinum-plated SUMMILUX-M 1:1.4/50mm, 1995

 

Various special editions were made for the Sultan, some in gold and others in platinum. A few even had diamonds on the top plate! As above, you need to talk to a specialist at somewhere like Westlicht. You might also post here (but they can't give valuations):
