                       One of my findings in Tallinn, Estonia. Yes, marked as "3,7cm", no "Grand prix Brussels" text and so on. Serial #002432.
  Any idea how early and rare such lens is? It did cost a huge 26 euros so I guess it was worth the investment  
  Picture will come tomorrow!

                       This is definitely pre-1958 lens, since that is when they started putting Grand Prix stuff on lenses.

                       I forgot to add that th eearly, 000608 lens does not have a KMZ or any other factory logo on the front.
