Leica M6 "Colombo" T16 serial # 1907156

200 Columbo M6's were ordered by the Italian Leica distributor Polyphoto in 1992, to commemorate the 500th Anniversary of the 1st American voyage of Columbus. Chrome M6 has matching 50/2 "Columbo 92" Summicron with its serial number 1-200 in the series.  The Top Plate is engraved "500 Columbo 1492-1992," as is the body cap.

These cameras were originally delivered without a lens.  Collector demand forced Leica to make a specially engraved 50 Summicron, available only to owners of the Columbo camera, which were delivered in 1993.
