Lots of snipping here.
Do you have any details of the U.S. Goerz operation, was
this originally owned by Goerz in Germany? Who wound up with
it after WW-1?
Also, Zeiss continued to make and sell Dagors and Wide
Angle Dagors as well as the Frontar. They may have made
others but I've never seen any mention of them. Zeiss-Goerz
Dagors are not too uncommon.
