I've lightened it and enlarged ity slightly to try and make it easier to see the serial number and the '11,5 cm'.
Could this be real? Could this be a mistake when engraving the the numbers?
The member says there's no possibility of the lock-ring/name ring having been 'doctored' to 11.5 from 13.5.
I did mention this forum in my first reply, and that I could ask here about it.
Any help would be much appreciated.

On the one hand, it's a shame as it would have been a rare lens.
On the other hand, it's still a rare lens, but for a different reason.

Posted - Nov 21 2016 : 08:06:54 AM No doubt there is an error of engraving. As far as I know, there is no 11,5cm Jupiter lens. And all the Jupiter 11 are 13,5cm lenses...
