Steinheil? Ends with -ar so probably budget line?

Never seen that name. Do you have other images? Profile? What type of mount is it? If you don't know perhaps a photo?

Isn't that a 2.9 marking on the barrel?

Hmmm not excactly the one I linked. But it’s München, so probably Steinheil. Hence the name HEILonar. 3 lenses in 3 groups I guess.

+1. The letters and markings are consistent with other Steinheil lenses at its time.

Yes. The body is from Victor or the same supplier as the Victor while the lens cell might be from Steinheil. A side by side comparison is needed to confirm.

Indeed. Look at the black ring, it's not the same.
