It looks like it is in a #1. Schneider says it should be in a #3. They don't say it, but a #1 doesn't open as wide as a #3.
Just a guess that they offered some f/11 lenses so it would fit into the smaller Copal 1 shutter instead of the larger Copal 3.
Most likely same glass, barrels different at the inner ends. #1 tube length is 20 mm, #3 is 32.
Interesting to know the difference in coverage.
But, at the STUPIDLY EXPENSIVE asking price, I'll never know!

That is interesting. I have a slightly earlier 355 G Claron - 13 35x xxx serial vs 13 67x xxx serial on this example - and the barrel is a stepped design so they have come up with a new barrel design for this version rather than make an adapter.
Weren't there some counterfeit lenses around about 8 years ago? From memory, some of the Schneider APO range?
They had really bad fonts, I think.
Although, this font looks legit.
