She had provided me a signed handwritten letter (in Russian and English) confirming that the lens came from Alexander's collection, but I don't have any other direct evidence to support the claim. Sadly, I came to know that she committed suicide not long afterwards. >>> However, even if you choose to be sceptical about the origin of this lens, it still holds great value as a fully functional, 90-year old collectible. Only light scratches and signs of use. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions!
