The price does seem quite high, for the brand. Maybe another brand might achieve such heights of this price?

I also wonder how it came into the sellers hands?

It's an interesting item, but 60 Euros just for the p/p? Seems higher in proportion than the price for the item itself!

I'll be watching though, to see if there is a collector out there with enough spare change to spend.

PS And just browsing, I came across a prototype Leica, at just over £10,000.00!

Well, I see 25€ for the shipping. But at that price of 6500€ I would not bother about shipping costs.

That model at first sight looks like an successor for the LB, but with external CdS-cell instead of Selenium and the meter display now within the finder. However it lacks an easy accessible battery cover.

This, the fact that there was no LB successor, the early winder design, and that it is designated "L" makes it seemingly the "arch" model L prototype.
A version that never made it, nor do I know of it hinted at anywhere.

I think this sums it up very well ( my bold highlight)
