1957 Takumar 100mm F3.5

Good Evening,
Just wondering if anyone has any knowledge of a Takumar 100mm f3.5 Lens. This is the one that has a black focus ring with silver on the front filter rings and lens mount. I just inherited this lens from my uncle. it looks like a good lens, but I can't seem to find out much about it.

Thanks,

Johnny

The lens DB entry for it is here:
Takumar 100mm F3.5 Reviews - M42 Screwmount Telephoto Primes - Pentax Lens Reviews & Lens Database

It is a very rare lens and certainly a collector's item. It looks like only 2 have been offered on the marketplace over the years, and at a very high price for a lens this old:

Welcome to the forum, I'm pleased to say that lens is even older than me.
