so I am browsing the polish online auction/sales site Allegro, where I find sometimes soviet stuff at a russian price, but it ships faster to Norway than from Russia, and sometimes DDR stuff cheaper than nowadays BRD prices ...
I have just spotted this from one of my former seller a rarity I guess, but that I can't totally confirm. Curious what model it really is. I am not buying anyway, but it may be of general interest, and even of interest for some of you.
It is sold for 4320 zloty, quite some money.
Seller (his name is Roman) describes it as a Hugo Meyer Kinon I Superior, from the 1930's, and adapted for M42. Some of the pics:

Hello,

Unfortunately I don't have anything to say about the lens itself, however as a frequent Allegro user for years (as both buyer and seller) I would like to point out that this guy has 93,8% of Positive comments, which is really low. I usually don't buy from any user with ratings below 99-98%, not to say such expensive piece of gear.

I'm not saying that this user is dishonest or something, I've never made any purchase from him, just a general remark about Allegro user's scoring system for You guys. Just a warning light.

Take care

this is a projector lens, but the point is that I find nowhere any Hugo Meyer the same specs (f=11.5), but instead 3.5 and 5. There's also a 6.5cm in Superior III, a 10cm in Kinon III. Wondering about the bokeh of this one.
