Hey guys, I just got my first shiny/silver lens  (it's at my parents house... and I won't be able to get it until April) 
Anyway, from the pictures that my mom took of the lens, it looks somewhat dirty (the metal casing... not the optics). How do I clean the outside of the lens? I think I have some metal polish somewhere 
2# The lens is missing the little plate that goes below the lens to attach a tripod. Where can I get one?
3# Did my mom mess up putting the adapter?!! why is it crooked?
thanks!

To answer a few of your questions:
I wouldn't polish it unless you're willing to detach and separate out all of the chrome parts. Otherwise any sort of polish that you use may seep into the cracks. It'll be a mess. Frankly the lens looks damn good. I wouldn't expect cosmetic perfection from a lens that's probably around 50 years old.
What I would be more concerned with is the visible dent in the front. Make sure the lens can still mount filters, and if not make sure the repair is done by a competent professional.
The tripod mount...You'll be hard pressed to find an original. You could probably find a machinist to do something for you, if you create a mock-up diagram. Just don't do something ugly like glue a nut in the space there.
But very nice lens, I look forward to the samples.

Okay, I'll leave it alone

I believe I got the dent while was being shipped... and no, I can't place any filters or the hood anymore

That looks amazing on that camera. Results look good too.
The adapter is on fine. The mount will usually be in the wrong place.
Also, WELCOME to the forum!!!!
