  1. I have been observing your camera in detail and drew my attention some details that differs from original Leicas IAs. Notice the number of screws attached on the front side of the top plate, normally 1 not 3, the focal distance displayed on cm not in mm and the focus scale that also differs from IAs. I recommend you to contact Leica forums, they could help you to authenticate your camera as they did with mine. Good luck with it. Concerning of the chrome/Nickel finish it is pretty sure it was made by somebody different from Leica. Leica did not chrome this camera as an upgrade.
  2. Though is quite uncommon, there are some Leicas I A chromed. The most famous one is the one displayed on Henry Cartier Bresson’s Foundation, but if you search you could find some others in fact I own one. This cameras were not chromed by Leica.
