Wetzlar Camera Auctions is teasing on social media a special Leica camera for their next auction under the slogan “the coming home of a most significant camera“:

From Wikipedia:
“The Leica had several model iterations, and in 1923, Barnack convinced his boss, Ernst Leitz II, to make a preproduction series of 31 cameras for the factory and outside photographers to test.”
If this is what I think it is, it will be huge:
New world record: a 1923 Leica 0-series camera sold for $2.95 million
New world record for the most expensive camera: 2,790,000 USD for Leica 0-Serie
New record: the most expensive Leica camera sold for 1.9 million USD
The next Wetzlar Camera Auction #5 will take place on October 7th, 2023 in Wetzlar:
