Leicas (I think PreWar)
Hi all, could somebody with the right Leica library give me some intel on these cameras?
They turned up in a friend's home after his dad (who used to have a camera store) died.
Anybody know what model they are and what year they're from?
Anybody care to venture a guess as to what a valuation might be? Are these collectible?
Thanks a lot in advance !

I believe these are Leica IID models... However, I am not a Leica expert or even a Leica fan... I believe that there were more back IID Leica's made than "silver" cameras...
Googling Leica IID might get you some value information:

Could this be one of the Leicas you illustrated?

I wonder how they got to Sicily, there's a million ways, but my favorites is Oberstleutenant Von Shweisig having to leave the quarters he was billited in 1943, as Patton advances on Palermo
