Isn't this what everyone dreams of .. finding an old rarity still in

Ok - not exactly rarity or mint or even a p-s but still fun:
Was driving a long trip around Northeast Finland and went to
buy coffee (or was it gasoline) in small community of Vaala http://maps.google.fi/maps?f=q&hl=fi&geocode=&q=vaala&sll=62.593341,27.575684&sspn=11.541483,29.135742&ie=UTF8&ll=65.549367,19.995117&spn=10.38493,29.135742&z=5&iwloc=addr
pop. 3600 1700 km\2 what makes 2 persons per sq km.
In the center there is a "antiques-flea-market" which means
all the stuff is at least 20 years old. So we went in to find
some nice prints or small paintings. In the middle of everything
I see lens case that is clean and in good condition and just
suitable for my Helios and extension-tubes and costs 10 €
(pretty much for just case). But there is a lens in it!
Didn't find it anywhere on the net:
TELE-EDIXON f=135 1:3.5 (m42 with a/m switch)
Case says Konica but can't be?
Sample is not art (handheld and poorly lit):
but the lens seems to work:
