Zeiss Tessar 15cm F:4.5 Contessa Nettel Deckrullo Tropen Klapp Nr.296149 lens

Description: Purchased by myself as a photographic resale item because it was a collectible & Usable ITEM: Zeiss Tessar 150mm 178mm F:4.5 Nr.296149 lens in a focusing helicoid, meant for a focal plane shutter camera from 1917~ 1919? INFO---- Could be from the following Contessa-Nettel, Deckrullo-Nettel,Klapp press camera tropen Klapp MECHANICALLY: Great condition , aperture turns easily, 15 blades! Helicoid from 2~inf, meter OPTICALLY: Original condition works nice, BUT the 2nd element is on a frozen thread in this four element Tessar design and I dont know how to unfreeze this design of 1917! Do you? This would be a great lens if I could get the dam 2nd element out. This design of over one hundred years ago was unfortunately adapted by Voigtlander, Goerz,Zeiss, Bausch & Lomb, Wollensak and others and it's always a Bxxxx to get at that element! The lens is for a 9x12cm camera for sure, But which one , I do NOT know? Could be Contessa, could be Nettel, could be Zeiss, so many camera makers used Zeiss lenses. A possible clue is it says AIV2 or A IV 2 in the aperture ring that goes from 4.5~36. The focusing knob looks like it was modified thru the thread of the little knob eons ago.. 1st, 3rd and 4th elements are near perfect. **** 2nd element is in a frozen thread that screws into the back of 1st element ******* So it needs to be SERVICED ************* Feedback UPDATE: I leave professional positive feedback only and work out any and all problems if they happen.please contact me if problems in shipping or content occurs, first.
