Subject: [Leica] A scarred summicron

Greetings All!

A couple of weeks ago a picked up a (1957?) 50 Summicron on the cheap.
It has a bit of a problem though: the front element has some fine 
pitting and a scratch.  Surprisingly enough though, the pictures from 
it seem OK, though maybe not quite as sharp and contrasty as perfect 
glass might give.
   
I guess my question is could the front element be replaced/repolished 
and what might this cost??  Does Leica do it or an independent repair 
person?

Thanks in advance!

Jonathan
