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 have bought #001852 for 300 roubles (~10USD). But in Moscow.
The rarest is: FK 2.8/37... ;)

I have one on consignment now, with #000608 at fedka.com, also without Grand Prix.

It seems that made quite a lot of them before adding the Grand Prix engraving.
