just got this STRANGE lens ... any idea what it could be? How many of them could have been produced until Nikon noticed one "m" is missing?

A misengraving case obviously. Not sure how much this adds to the value of the particular (otherwise pretty common) lens.

besides this obvious mistake, I found out (basing on the serial #) it's a pretty rare K version of 135/2.8 , produced only in 1976/77...

Maybe you can try and sell it to ESO...

You should see the camera -- the film is 2.4x3.6 meters(!) -- a large tractor is used for tripod. Laughing

Not quite, this is what a 34.5m f/0.88 will look like:

Rather than a tractor, the tripod for a 135m f/2.8 would probably be closer to something like this.
