You won't see images on your first post. This might show it.

Welcome to the forum.
The first attempt with these kinds of optics is always to unscrew the front and rear blocks, which often come off complete. It can take a lot of force, for optics that have not been disassembled recently, and you need to have the right experience to know if you are going the right way. More photos would help, however

Hello Garry and welcome.

If you want to unscrew the front inside ring, you can use a rubber drain stopper.
Else, you can try to unscrew the front body by hand.

Maybe ask Calvin :

It is important for me to see the connection line of the front lens block with the lens body ... Do any of our forum members have such a lens?

By the way, I have always been very curious, whether Meopars from Meopta were optical copies of the Voigtländer’s “old”, or the “new” Heliar.
I myself own Meopar 210/4.5 But didn’t have yet the chance to test it seriously.

My copy is very clean. I do think the front and rear lens can be unscrewed with rubber tool.

You can and should think ... this is understandable ... But what is it really? How to open?

You don't need that. Simply grasp the front and back of the lens with both hands, and try unscrewing. Not surprisingly, both blocks have a knurled edge.

However, allow me to observe that if you had uploaded more photos as requested, our indications could have been more precise.
