Well, I have a Leica M2 in chrome with brass highlights, worth only around £379,700 less than that!
Nice camera though.
When you say brass highlights, do you mean the winder, film speed dial, flashgun plate etc are brass?

Nah, it's just badly worn!

On The Right side of camera lens the SM logo looks like a' lens leaf aperture' with the initials ACG, Which I believe to be the SM trademark at the time, see thumbnail on post 5. Though this logo also shows up on some of the Enolde cameras you have mentioned. I've also seen Enolde made cameras with the logo FD to the right side of the lens.
Just came across this as well "The same Enolde brand was used for various folding plate cameras" so another possibility is that they did make this camera under licence for SH. Though I'm sure Enolde made cameras do have the company name imprinted on to the leather case.
Another possibility is that the lens was made by SM for Enolde.
Sorry Oscroft I just threw up more questions than answers
