    ID a rear lens element?

    This has been residing in my junk drawer/spare parts cache for years, but I have never been able to ID what it came from.

    Does it ring a bell for anyone out there?

    One reflection and focal length appears to be 125mm.

    We never have time to do it right, but we always seem to have time to do it again...

    At first glance, it appears to be the rear element of a 12" f/4.5 Gundlach Radar.
    When I get home I can measure mine to compare micrometer readings.

    Here's mine...
    The typeface looks right, but the size is wrong.
    I'm betting yours is a Gundlach of some sort.Click image for larger version.

    I agree; the typeface is identical.

    Well, I have on my list to fab up a lens board and report back focal length.

    To be continued...
