Strange lens !
https://www.ebay.fr/itm/VERY-RARE-EXCELLENT-Nikon-Tele-400mm-F8-Lens-For-F-mount-Nikon-SLR-DSLR-/173278711605
Modern Engraving but long mirror lens (as before 1975)

I would think it is a fake .. Does someone can confirm ?

It is one of the "amusing lenses" (1995) or "fun fun" lenses (2000) Nikon produced:

Glad to hear that. I find it very amusing that Nikon printed screw heads on the label to suggest real screws were used...
