I am trying to determine the vintage, value and over all cool factor of a Leica I own. The Camera is a Leica DBP (?) with a screw mount s/n 724951. Can anyone pass along info about his camera? Thanks. -mjc

According to this web site, you camera is a IIIf from 1954.

Yep, the Hove Leica Pocket Book concurs. It also lists the code "vorl" which means "delayed action." In other words, it's supposed to have a self-timer. Rogliatti lists it the same way.
