Subject: Info needed on weird stuff

Fellow LUGgers:

I could use some information on some unusual items I've aquired. Any info
you have would be appreciated.

(1) I have an early ISOOZ (14099). It marked only for 13.5cm so I expect it
was made before the introduction of the M2. Now for the weird part. One the
front (away from the camera) of the flange is engraved the number 855522.
Any ideas? On the back of the same flange in much smaller numbers is
engraved 17206. This one looks like an item number engraving, but I can't
find a reference to that number.

(2) I also aquired a Nikon 25mm finder. It has no serial number as
expected. I have read that this was only sold with the Nikon 25mm f4 lens.
On the bottom of the foot is engraved an L. Anyone have a value on this
one?

(3) Help me find a rear cap for a LTM Canon 25mm f3.5 lens. It must be
deeper than a standard rear cap to clear the rear elements. It looks like
it must be about 1.5cm deep.

Thanks to all.
