I am happy with the performance of this lens I got, but the scratches on the rim are a mystery.
Any ideas why they are there? Why would someone do that? Thank you in advance.

Oh, it is a Wollensak Velostigmat Wide Angle Ser. III f/9.5 8x10 6 1/4" (I hope I got that right)
Filter ring misuse, bad lens spanner action, etc???
I often black out these to prevent this from reflecting into filters, close to glass/windows etc...

Man. Somebody should have known to stop after they made the first scratch! At least they weren't on the glass.

This is what happens if you don't have a lens spanner.

If they are from lens spanner/ equivalent, the marks were done TIGHTENING the ring (scratch from L to R, indicating clockwise direction, indicating tightening).
Perhaps the stupidity continued by trying to undo the ring by turning it the wrong way?
