That's a very pretty late pre-AI Nikkor, Roman. Nice-looking DIY job on the aperture ring, too.
Hope you don't mind. Here's a pic of my Nikkor OC 35mm f/2. Earlier model than yours, of course. Since Sting asked, I thought I'd point out how to tell the difference between a well-done AI modification of the aperture ring, and a replacement ring made by Nikon. Note the smaller case aperture numbers at the bottom of the ring. A pre-AI ring does not have them. That's the easiest way to tell. I've seen some AI jobs done where a small piece of white tape with the numbers printed on it is laid down on the aperture ring.

I remember seeing some website in the US offering AI conversion service, but it is not cheap. |

Nikon stopped producing the replacement AI aperture rings for the old lenses some 20 years ago or so. I know because I used to live close to their repair facility in Torrance, CA back in my camera dealer days and whenever I would buy a non-AI Nikkor, I'd pick up the conversion kit from them. The word from the repair techs then was that there weren't many more of them being seen and it was pretty much a "stock on hand" deal. Then there was a repair tech in Nevada who hit the Torrance facility and bought ALL the AI conversion kits they had left. He cornered the market, and began charging a tidy sum for the conversion. Not much anybody else could do about it.
So nowadays if anybody has any of these conversion kits left, I'm thinking they're worth quite a bit. So if the website you saw is offering the genuine Nikon kits, this is why. There aren't many left.
By the way, by "kit" I'm referring to what was usually the aperture ring and also often a lever arm that was used to engage the aperture iris. For some reason these arms sometimes had to be redesigned and thus were included with the new rings.
