Those were sold under many names, and were probably made by several factories over 40 years. Versions of them are still being made in Korea.
Its almost certainly a T-mount.
I also would like to know how good it is.

It is mounted on a Zenit 122, so it is M42 mount. But I cannot test it right now and I am curious about its performance

Hmm, I will not ask the seller to try it then.
Also I was thinking where I can use it. But I cannot find a place to use a 800mm (with 1.6X crop) lens in my neighborhood
