The first 50mm lens of the Nikon F mount. Probably made in 1959 to 1960. It has 9 iris blades with 7 elements in 5 groups. I guess this lens is a must have for some Nikon lovers.

No, it's not that one. It's a Tick Mark Lens. Small numbers + good condition - collector's item.

I think 'tick mark' refers to the little lines drawn from the f-numbers to the chrome ring. People will collect variants, I guess.
