What it is
{"overview":"The Ur-Leica is the prototype 35mm camera built by Oskar Barnack at Leitz in Wetzlar around 1913–1914, and is regarded as the starting point of the Leica line. Check for the maker's markings, serial or edition numbering, and any original presentation box or paperwork, and inspect the brass and nickel finishes for re-lacquering.
