hey everyone,
Sorry if this isn't in the correct section but it seemed most apt. I've come across a Voigtlander prominent Nokton 50mm 1.5 with silver nameplate.
Struggling to find any references regarding the ones with the silver nameplate, I've only seen the versions with the black one.
Scasmbrook from MFlenses said it was one of the early ones probably from the 50's but just trying to gauge its rarity really. I've trawled through a lot of pages online, but I still haven't found anything conclusive.
If anyone could help, it would be appreciated, and if you want some photos, just let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Not really sure about rarity as I have only seen a handful of chrome bezel Noktons on eBay, in both Prominent mount & LTM, over the past 10 or so years.
BTW, the correct subforum is probably "Other RF": http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?forumid=23

I believe it's an early one, but as far as I recall, when Noktons came up for sale more often (30+ years ago) they were not especially unusual.
