*'''Type''' - Per Schouten: Ultra rare and hard to find finder. According to the books Leica made these finders for the Rifle. Unfortunately in 1937 further development of the Leica Gun was forbidden. A small number of finders reached Leica New York where a few were found later in the 70's. Leica first tried to put them together with rifles but these were no longer available. Some finders came on the market but definitely not many. A rare piece in great condition. Finder comes with screw mount PLOOT (with box) and probably home made adapter for using the finder on the PLOOT
*'''Schouten''' - Special Viewfinder for Leica-Gun, 1937 Leitz, Wetzlar. Further development of the Leitz, Wetzlar, Leica Gun was forbidden in 1937 by the German Security Service. However, there existed a small number of already manufactured special viewfinders, which reached Leitz, New York, presumably after WWII. As they had developed meanwhile their own viewfinder for the Leitz, New York, Leica Gun RIFLE, these German orphans were disposed to interested parties in the 70s or 80s. This viewfinder example is mounted to a Visoflex-I mirror housing by a custom made dove-tail adapter. - Literature: James L. Lager, Volume III, p. 110. - One of the most unusual and rarest Leica accessory parts!
