Bought it used early the year, really enjoy the digital Rangefinder experience, ended up buying a Leica. Ever since then, this one has been sitting in dry box, barely taken out, so I'll let it go.

Reskined with Italian Leather(the front), kept the original back skin though - there is useful grip. Feel nice in hand, the original rubber skin are kept in case you want to restore to original.

The machine has been pretty well used, but it's clean, as the previous owner was nice and myself has a non-smoking family. View finder and LCD has some dusts in there, nothing has impact though.
All function goes perfectly, CCD is clean, meters works fine, shutter works fine, a little dust in viewfinder and right corner of LCD, any question feel free to ask.
Cosmetic condition wise, you can look at the photos, which clearly shows everything.

The whole set has:
1. R-D1 camera body (with cap, and soft-release button - see photo)
2. A hand grip, full metal, nice and solid, and the battery door is openable when grip installed.
3. Original charger.
4. Seven batteries - one battery actually last several 2G sd cards, but more is always better. One original Epson, two Ricoh's, 4 others. see photos.
5. Two neck strap, one from original EPSON, another one I bought was supposed to be Leica's but there s no Leica logo on it - good tough one but no guarantee to be leica's.
6. Two Sandisk SD cards
7. Manual book.
8, And of course the orignal skin (front) while the leather is on the machine.

Updated to latest firmware possible.

Looks quite nice - didn't know Epson made a camera, much less a rangefinder - has the Leica digital borrowed from this?

From what I've read, it's pretty much a Bessa with a sensor, but Leica probably got some ideas from it in an abstract sense...

Ah I see, thanks!

And is that a rewind crank I see there? :-o quirky!

Ok, just to show what this buddy could do, I'm posting photos - no post processing.
Sometimes I prefer it's color over my Leica M9, but it's sometimes - of course. It has been sitting in the dry box for a while, not because of anything else but because the 1.5 crop ratio. If it's a full frame such that my 50mm lens does not become 75mm, I'll keep it forever.

BTW, the winder is not just a decoration, it gets the mechanical shutter ready for the next shot: winding the blinds up and back into place for the next actuation. I love the winder and I wish digital M has it.

Here are one photo:
