1950s LEICA orig FRONT LENS CAP 39mm CHROME -EXC!

Manufactured by Leitz Wetzlar in Germany sometime in the 1950s, this is an original chrome-plated push-on front lens cap for Leica rangefinder lenses with a 39mm (E39) filter size, and an outside flange diameter of 40mm. It fits snugly over the 40mm outside rim of Leitz 39mm filters, making it compatible with many Leica screw mount (SM) and bayonet mount (BM) Leica lenses.

The chrome-plated lens cap is in excellent condition, with no dings or dents, but there are various faint bright-marks in the chrome which can only be seen when holding the cap at a certain angle to the light (see photos).

See my other listings for several other Leica lens caps.

Domestic shipping is $3.00 via USPS First Class Mail or $6.00 via USPS Priority Mail with delivery confirmation, plus insurance of $2.50 for the first $100.00 and $1.10 for each additional $100.00 (Insurance for items under $50.00 is $1.75). Insurance is optional, but I will not be responsible for loss or damage to uninsured items. Shipping discounts are available for multiple purchases shipped to the same address.

Visa and MasterCard are accepted through PayPal for domestic purchases. For international purchases, because of PayPal's very strict rules regarding proof-of-shipment for sellers, if you want to pay for the item using PayPal, and the item sells for less than $250.00, I can only accept a PayPal payment if you are willing to pay for USPS Express Mail International or Priority Mail International shipping. They are the only on-line-trackable shipping methods offered by our US Postal System to international destinations, and an on-line-trackable shipping method is a PayPal requirement. If the item sells for more than $250.00, then Express Mail International is the ONLY shipping option available because it is the only service that requires a signature upon delivery, and PayPal requires signature confirmation on packages worth more than $250.00.

EBay has recently made changes to their payment rules whereby (in eBay's own words) "Beginning in late October [2008], sellers will no longer be allowed to offer [any traditional person-to-person paper] payment methods on eBay. Only approved electronic methods will be allowed." As a seller, eBay now prohibits me from even using the words that describe what those traditional paper-transaction payment methods are. EBay strongly encourages all buyers to pay for their items by using PayPal (an eBay-owned company). I accept PayPal, and encourage you to use it, but I will not force you to use it. EBay's rules also state "A seller can accept [paper payments] from a buyer if (and only if) the buyer requests it. We will not take action against a seller who is trying to accommodate their buyer, complete a sale and be in compliance with the policy. Sellers cannot in any way solicit [paper payments] from a buyer." So, let me be clear, I am not, in any way, soliciting you to use any payment method other than PayPal, I am simply informing you (the buyer) of all of eBay's rules, which you can read for yourself on eBay's website by clicking on the following eBay link (where the previous quotes came from):
