Anyone familiar with this maker's mark?

I believe it to be a ring on its side. I maybe wrong. Personally I've had no luck with lens. Opposite side of that tag says 14k ITALY. Above the "ring" hallmark it says "pat pend". It was my great grandfathers, who passed away in the 1970's, I am not sure exactly when he got it. I do not believe it's that old I think it maybe the 1940's. It may have come directly from Italy. That's about all the info I know about it that may help. Any idea?

You might want to copy and save this for reference for a while....it helps when you're new!!!

For Future reference, when posting images:

Each image MUST be UNDER 1 MB....
There are instructions on site here on how to reduce the size of your image, if that is the problem......you are allowed up to 10 images per post!!! Here are some links to the instructions:

Try emailing them to yourself as "medium" size, they should then be under 1 MB!

As an added note, when you have your photos LISTED, BUT BEFORE you hit POST, please click on the wording that says to "INSERT EVERY IMAGE AS FULL IMAGE" !! That way, we're not clicking on little thumbnails, but get to see all of the images full sized!! Thanks! Remember, it takes a bit for MOST new members to get the hang of it, but it's really quite simple once you get used to it!!!" If you still have questions, DON'T hesitate to ASK!!!!

 

sorry guys thanks
