     Hi,

      You must be talking about the M2S which is the same as the M2R
     without proper marking.  I would think the M2S is some sort of
     prototype of the M2R for the US military.

     Regards,
     David

Tom,

You describe one of a number of M2 cameras made for the US Military. THe

M2R was
the overrun sold by Leitz NY as the M2R. The military ones were
decommissioned
and sold. They usually have cosmetic defects. I've had two, #1164757
whuch was
stolen in 1987, and #1164287 which I use daily. Both function(ed)
perfectly.
THey occur in thee 11643xxx and 1164xxx range.

Adam
