Kindermann Canada purchased all of Leica's LTM parts several years ago, 
still have a reasonable stock of these parts and still, as far as I know do 
all of Leica's Factory service for factory LTM cla's.

 

The hassle, if you live outside of Canada, is to properly document what 
you've mailed out for service/repair so you are not charged customs and 
excise tax when the camera returns home.

 

Sounds like a very nice gift.
