The engraving reads "Ernst Leitz GmbH Wetzlar Germany." The fact that they went to the trouble of using two lines to fit the text in shows their dedication. This is the emblem that symbolizes the golden age of Leitz. Following this, the markings decreased in line with the decline of Leitz: → Ernst Leitz Wetzlar Germany → Leitz Wetzlar Germany and finally, → LEICA only. This may be seen as a trend towards modernization, and it's not necessarily a matter of good or bad. However, it can be said to be a matter of romance. That era. That era when the giants of the camera world existed as giants. This is the very individual made at that time, imbued with that spirit. Its robustness, still unwavering despite being so well-used. Modern plastic would likely have cracked long ago. Leica's pride in quality, its philosophy that extended even to small accessories. This is a living testament to that. You'll feel it in your hand, the quiet assertion, "This is Leica." The true essence of Leica is here. 〜 Leica Treasure Market 〜
