    Help required please; Casket lens set elements but no barrel

    Hi

    Any help/assistance more than gratefully accepted please

    With the 'C' letter after the number of each lens, I have:-

    18; 30; 42; 52 and 71 and no inscription at all. The outer width of the brass element is 60mm

    I have a E Francais set which covers 11 x 14 and these have a slightly larger width

    I'll post a couple of images later (and now attached below)

    Many thx in advance and best regards

    Andrew

    Thanks for those who have looked at this post, looks as though no one is any wiser than me............................

    As these are pretty well surplus 'to my requirements' I'm going to put them on 'that Auction site'

    regards

    Well, for anyone on here who may be interested.....................

    The background to me acquiring these was by way of buying a number of 'mixed Lots' from one of the UK's leading Auction Houses who specialise in all things Cameras and lenses etc etc. A decent percentage of the bits and bobs etc etc had 'a French provenance' background etc etc

    Entirely by coincidence I've just paid a visit to a certain European on line Auction set up and they currently have a French casket set (for sale) with identically numbered inscriptions, only one of which duplicates those that I have here and admittedly the size of the elements may well differ

    Anyhow, there we are

    regards to all

    Andrew
