Rolleinar with red 'R'

[mike kim]

I just bought two pairs of Rolleinars (1 and 2 for Bay III) for $100, and one of them has a red 'R' instead of a 'RIII' as well as a slight yellowish tint. Is this some kind of old model?

WOW!!! This is so rare...nahhh...;) It may mean that it's coated. I have a Rolleinar 2 Bay I with the same red R. It's coated. The Rolleinar 1 Bay I I have is really old and uncoated and doesn't have the red R. But then I have both Rolleinar 1 & 2 in Bay II and neither has a red R.
