I bought an Industar 26m lens for the princely sum of $23 shipped from Russia. It needs a CLA but that was expected. And it did show up in the mail today

I have a 1996 Industar 55mm f/2.8 that I really like after Don Goldberg fixed it.

The I-26m is silver. The serial number is 421776. It's inscribed F=5cm. Aluminum body. Any idea what year this one is?
Tomorrow it is on its way to the DAG Hospital for treatment !

Thanks! Great page on the Industar-26m; I did not realize that there were so many versions. Best I can tell, my copy is a PT4330 vintage 1958-1959.
Given the serial number of 421776 I'm guessing that it
is a 1958ish lens.

Got the Industar-26m back from Don. It is silky smooth!
It was expensive to have it serviced - $110 plus shipping. But it's like new. I will run some film through it soon.
