This is the extremely rare Reid with no viewfinder. We know of only 3 other examples, two of which we also sold. The serial numbers of the three cameras are all within 14 digits. H.P.R. in ‘Leica Copies’ writes, ‘Reid 1a. The camera was announced in the British Journal Photographic Almanac 1959. It is also mentioned in different British publications but it has never been seen even in a photo’.
