Anyone have a 1946ish Leica price list?

[landsknechte]

Does anyone have access to a price list, or some sort of ad that shows what a IIIc sold for in 1946 (or so)?

Balcom Camera 1954 catalog, selling to servicemen overseas (no excise tax) had a IIIf for $124. Their equivalent "stateside price" was $180.

I think I got that catalog scan here.

Leica's 1938 catalog price for the IIIb was $108.
