If this

    Greg and I have both seen abnormalities within Leica serial numbers, 
both
    with cameras and lenses. Nothing with Leica is black and white.


Ever try to figure out the one about  "How many black paint SL MOTs 
were made?"

I think all the serial #'s I've seen are registered as chrome SL 
numbers, and some are from years before MOTs were ever produced.

As someone on this list said,  years ago,  "Will We Ever Know The 
Truth?"

In fact, I think it was that kind of humor, which I discovered during a 
Google search for this info, that led me to join this list.
