From the Luxe Society, Asia's Premiere Lifestyle Portal - December 13, 2018:

"The Special Edition Leica M 10

In partnership with Royal Selangor and available exclusively at Leica Store Raffles, the special edition Leica M 10 is offered in a pewter and silver limited edition of 10 cameras respectively, which comes with a Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. The unique embellishments imbue the digital rangefinder camera with classic appeal and lend a tactile experience to the art of photography."

From the editor

Royal Selangor is the world's largest pewter manufacturer and retailer founded in 1885 and based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

***

Judging by the rare photos, the pewter-covered body was supplied with a silver Summilux-M 50mm F/1.4 ASPH., while the so called "silver" body - with a black one. Both were of modern barrel design with focusing tab, not retro-styled like most special limited editions of the last years.
