Hi Douglas,

Yesterday I was classifient old documents and it was the original invoice 
from Robet White when I bought the M6, casually with the date of yesterday.

Concerning the vulcanite of your M3 I suggest you put in Google this search 
"leica vulcanite replacement? there are many addresses, I remember in IK it 
was Leica Lutton, excellent and expensive service with a list of customers 
waiting their turn.

Cheers
Lluis
