M3 rangefinder white spot

[Radost]

Just purchased M3.
Is this white spot normal?

I see it on another camera on ebay.

Looks like a plastic part or frosted glass:

This is not typically normal for a new camera. It could be a pixel issue, a dust particle, or a manufacturing defect. However, without a physical inspection, it’s hard to determine the exact cause. I recommend reaching out to the seller or manufacturer for further assistance.

This is not a new camera, it is more than 60 years old.

This is normal on the M3. They all look like that; what you're seeing is part of the frameline mask mechanism.
