It was produced in 1940 during WWII. It has a few signs of use, but other than that it’s managed to survive the war years in remarkably fine condition. A Leica IIIb is is hard to find because was only produced for three years and only about 31,000 units were ever produced. This makes it one of Leitz smallest production runs which insures that it will always be an elusive and desirable model. 

This camera is fully functional. It was carefully cleaned, lubricated and adjusted one year ago by a professional. 

The shutter curtains run smoothly and they are completely light tight. 

The coupled rangefinder image is easy to see which makes focusing quick and easy. 

The viewfinder has also been cleaned and it’s clean and bright. 

The camera winds very smoothly and all shutter speeds, 1 sec. thru 1/1000th are acurate. 

The lever operated diopter adjustment (conveniently located under the rewind knob) works as it should.

I shot four rolls of film with it and realized I don't have the skills or patience for film photography
