I just got these at a 25 family barn/yard/junk sale this morning (I paid slightly more for these than I did for my breakfast ). The lens mounted mounted in my Linhof board came with the presentation box. No markings on lens cells, but 6 elements in 2 groups, so it is probably a Dagor, made by A-O under license. Quick measurements make it around 240mm. I\'m going to try it later on my Master Technika, as the glass is clear, and the shutter actually works. The Volute shutter blades are the iris blades also; strange but true.
The other lens in barrel (J Dallmeyer) measures around 280mm, and is over 100 years old (1896 Pat\'d). Glass clear (with bubbles!) and a beautiful 12-blade iris. I will have to spin up the lathe to make a lens-shutter adapter for this one. Going to remove the cells and get some brass polish on it first though.
