Hi,
The shell of one looks like brass but the other doesn't, or is it the lighting in the photograph?

Well-known
David, I believe he is talking about the long arm at the top with screws holding it down, instead of pins?

Hello David/Oltimer,
They are both made of brass. The question on USSRPhoto (Jacques M.) was: riveted (FED, TSVVS) or screwed (Leica-method). Also: Jacques concluded that the springs were TSVVS. A possible number on the chromed version: "2" (see below). Producion-number of the lens, Jacques wrote,: 10 pieces (14/06/1951), the 2,8 Tessar "50mm" version (so not the "5cm"version) seems quite unique(!). A pre- or post-TSVVS?.
