Nice write up of this old lens. Tick-mark lenses are rare, the 3.5cm lens is the least common since it was difficult to mass produce, and ones marked in m are the rarest!

My 10.5cm tick mark was $85 USD in 2012, so a lot more than yours, but a lot less than the going rate.
I got it just a month after I found a 5cm tick mark on ebay the same way, that one was only $66.55 USD :)
Both are in decent shape, seem to be fine mechanically, but looking a little worn.
