Subject: [Leica] Need HELP with ID of LF lens

Howdy found an interesting old lens or three yesterday

The most interesting is a no-name barrel lens in a nice leather covered wood
box 

Lens has 7 inch EF scratched into the black along with BF 122.8 mm

an index mark etched 7.063 inches

a typed aperature scal from f2.5 to f16

perhaps 20 iris blades

A card marked EFL 208.28mm

BF 191.515 mm

resolution 176 lines per mm

low contrast

Is this a process camera lens (it does not look like one)

A ex-military one (it is coated)

It is much too well made for a hash-up (unless the hasher had a machine
shop)

176 lp/mm seems sky high for a LF lens, it is?

Any idea of the value?

Thanks
