There is no hallmark on this instrument but it has a feel of early Starrett or Brown and Sharpe. The arms are beveled steel 4 1/2 long. The dial is brass and is engraved with very delicate yet precise degrees marks. There are very fine knurls on all the moving parts.

From Philly With Love. Leica Leitz Elmar 3.5cm 35mm f/3.5 Wide Angle Lens M39 with Caps Very Rare V12. This very rare non-telescoping Leica Leitz Elmar 3.5cm (35mm) f/3.5 wide angle lens comes with both of its caps. It is for use with LTM L39 M39 screw mount cameras and adapters. It is serial number 297782, and it was made in 1936. There is the haze inside of it typical to Elmars of this age. It still takes amazing photos (please see sample photo, the photo was shot at f/3.5), but would benefit from a CLA. There are also a couple of light scuff marks on its mount. Its focus and aperture adjustments are both smooth and its glass is free of any fungus or separation to its elements. There is no oil on its aperture blades. See photos and the Description above.
