Thanks for your comments Dan. Being wartime, this lens is of
all-aluminium construction - part of the reason why it now looks a bit
shabby.

The dealer I bought it from has already had the optics cleaned and
collimated, so the lens will be going back to the same repairer in the
new year to be re-lubed and generally cleaned up.

Regards,

Doug Richardson
