The Summitar cap (Leitz ORSTO) had a 3/16" lip on the front surface, while the Summicron cap (ORQDO/14031 in chrome, 14122 in black), has a very narrow raised rim on the outer edge of the front surface. The early ORQDO and the ORSTO both bear "Leica" in script, in the early '50's manner. Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
