Other than that, you may be the first to review it.
Happy snaps

Yes, quite different from known Rikenon lenses.
Looks a bit like a fixed mount version of early Sigma, or maybe Sun.

Hi, I've got exactly the same lens.
You can see some photos taken here: https://www.flickr.com/search/?tags=rikenon24mm&sort=relevance&user_id=123569846%40N08
Not a bad lens if you don't pay a fortune for it, I got mine for 20€ (65 reais). Has to be stopped at f/8 or f/11 to get decent borders on full frame. Excellent construction, all glass and metal.

I have this lens. It's definitely made by Sigma (I've seen one like that named Sigma XQ or something like that). It's a vintage ultra-wide angle lens, meaning it's very soft at the corners until it hits f/11. Other than that, it's a typical Sigma XQ lens of the time. Unless you want one for collection, or are offered one at a very low price, it has little to offer beside the rarity factor.

True, wide-open even 4 or 5.6 edges are soft. 24mm on full frame does give you plenty of angle. Some post-production on this one, Rikenon 24mm (SIGMA) again:

How does this lens compare compared to CZJ Flektogon 20mm 4.0 ? I'm thinking about switching.

Different viewing angle, different maximum aperture, totally different price level. It doesn't make sense to switch; rather, just buy that Flek if you can find one for a reasonable price.

Would 100€ be a reasonable price for a mint one ?

For a 4/20 Flektogon?
A good price indeed, it usually goes for about twice as much.
I'd buy one for €100 if I didn't already have one.
