PAM Britar 10.5cm

[Fuchs]

After reading the previous post about the military version of the US Kardon camera (http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=90059), I remembered I have somewhere an all-aluminum 10.5cm f/4.5 PAM-Britar lens. I have read it was the tele lens produced for the Kardon.

Does anyone know if it was issued to go along the civil or the military version of this camera? Are there any differences between those versions, of any?

Thanks in advance

The general belief is the Pam Britar was made for the Kardon, however I have never talked with anyone who had proof of its heritage. Oddly, that seems to be the only Pam Britar named lens. How often is there only ONE lens in a manufacturer's lineup? Or was Pam Britar a model name like the Hektor, but without no lens maker's name?
