Look at:

	http://cameraquest.com/mtype.htm

According to this list, 1,225,0XX was indeed a black M4.  However, the 
only clue Stephen provides (presumably because there was no info in the 
data supplied to him) is that "earlier" black M4s were enamel, while 
"later" ones were black chrome.  1,225,0XX dates from 1969.

Later on the same page, he has black M4 Mots, which were all apparently 
enamel finish.  The last numbers for these are 1,274,100.

This would *suggest* that 1,225,0XX would be enamel, not chrome.

Do you not have an opportunity to ask the seller what the finish is?

As for value, you'll have to ask someone with the latest edition of the 
Leica pocket priceguide.
