I agree that this discussion has led to a better education of what pentax has made in the past, to the point where I may pay more attention to some screw mounts that I had previously ignored.
Having said that, it is perhaps unfortunate that groundloop is returning the lens, because although it is not what he thought he was getting, I still maintain that what he paid was a good price for what he actually got.
As I said earlier, I paid quite a bit more for an SMC Pentax 135 f2.5 and passed up several similar K mount Tak's which were also priced higher than what groundloop paid.

Nope. I don't have any and have not in any shops where I have seen Takumars, seen one with SMC on it, although I know some were made with K mounts.
All I have seen have no indication of SMC that is all

I think you should have known it was not an SMC lens right up front. You state it was an M42 lens.
To my knowledge, SMC was not used in lenses until K mount.
BTW, I just bought an SMC 135 f2.5, passing over 2 other similarly priced Takumar 135 f2.5 K mounts ONLY because of the coating.
EDIT:
In terms of the price, however, I think what you paid is fair for the lens you got. I paid somewhat more for my SMC f2.5 above. There is a simple concept here, if the deal appears too good, it probably is.
