Can anyone identify this lens? I can't even decide what alphabet the manufacturer's name is in.

You have to put blood on the letters, and point it to the full moon. It will reveal itself.

Do you have photos taken with it?

Well, the "Sicor" name is in one of the awful typefaces that seemed to proliferate for a while in the 1990s.
Whatever it says before that may even be in a different one of them as well -- such fonts really were that bad. Shocked

Very common lens. Never seen this engraving but I've had a copy or two labeled for Toyo Optics with the "K" serial. Name of the manufacturer escapes me.

if your lens looks like this https://www.google.ca/search?q=Ozunon+GMC+80-200mm+f/4.5+Zoom&client=firefox-a&hs=1KJ&sa=N&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=rcs&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&ei=JFbMUur2BYjGqwHWloCIAw&ved=0CG8QsAQ4Cg&biw=1280&bih=929

then this is the manufacturer: http://camera-wiki.org/wiki/Ozone_Optical

One day I was looking for the same thing like you and found that... Smile

That first part is Katakana for "SICOR" in english pronounciation.

サイコㇽ ... "SAIKORU" maybe? Not an expert.

You're probably right. From your table, it looks like SA-KO-RU to me.

Thank you to everyone who helped with this. I don't have the lens. I saw it advertised on eBay as a Russian lens of unknown make. It was the 'Russian' that caught my attention, but now I'm not interested in it. I've got too may lenses in that zoom range and don't need any more, unless they are exceptional.
