There is now an on-line Dallmeyer archive which is working well. I thought about taking a couple of years in the lens ledger and tallying up the exact number of the Patent Petzvals (including also the C series) for particular years (perhap 1870 and 1880?). The lenses were made as batch productions - apart from the larger sizes - so it is not too much work.
It would be nice to come back from an Easter holiday to find out that someone else has already done it?
