A hand-engraved Romannumeral %u2018II%u2019 appears after the %u2018Nr.%u2019 engraving and is also repeated inside the focusing mount, underlining the experimental character of the lens. Preserved in very good condition, with some cleaning marks visible on the front element, and accompanied by the scarce matching Wetzlar-made HMOOD hood.
