Leica IIIcK and Leica 250GG - a photo on Flickriver

Both with a simple Elmar, which is rather unusual, I think.

The IIIc is not a rare model at all, with over 138,000 made. Quite a lot were for the German military, painted grey and mostly with engravings indicating which arm of the Wehrmacht had ordered the camera, Heer, Luftwaffe or Kriegsmarine. I don't know what the K stands for, though, perhaps Kriegsberichterstatter= war correspondent or in the case of the Wehrmacht rather a photographer whose job it was to shoot pictures for propaganda purposes.

If you're not a collector who absolutely has to have one of every model made, but someone who will go out and take pictures, I would recommend choosing a IIIa or a IIIf rather than the IIIc, which was manufactured during the war and in the immediate post-war years when the materials available were often of lesser quality.

The 250GG is a model G (aka IIIa) but with a 250-exposure cassette. I have mostly see these equipped with faster lenses, which rather makes sense for a photojournalist. An Elmar only makes sense if you know there will be enough bright light and if you want the camera to be small, which isn't the case anyway with that 250 cassette.
