I think you forgot a very important check... the pinholes on the shutter curtains...

With a Leica screw-fitting camera you can only inspect the front face of the shutter (Leica Ms have a hinged back so you can check both sides). Significant shutter deterioration is easy to spot but minor pinholing isn’t. I always recommend running a test film through a camera. This will identify mechanical issues with the shutter (very common) and physical issues - including pinholing - too (actually quite unusual). But also carry out the other checks I mention. A test film won’t highlight everything (optical deterioration in the finder for example). Thanks for commenting - it’s always appreciated.
