You would be better off selling it as is to a collector since the I f Leicas with serial no.s from 562293 to 564201 are called black dial & worth up to $1300 US depending on condition. The other If was called red dial & worth about half of that. Because those models had no vf or rf, they were used primarily for Microscopes & Viso- flex's or other instruments where no finders were needed. Marvin Moss
