IIIf curtain

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Leica Photography : One Thread

I intend to buy a IIIf. After inspecting several bodies from a shop, I found that shutter curtains have somthing common, but different from my M.

When I cocked the camera, I found that the shutter curtain looked like two pieces put together. It's about 5mm cloth like material on the left hand side (when the camera is facing me) and the remaining 30mm looks like rubberised cloth.

Is this common for a IIIf?

Thanks in advance for your advice.
