I also had a "2.9 mark" Summar in my Fontenelle collection : here is an image. Note that it also has a "lever-actuated" diaphragm and an infra-red mark.

My only Summar has IR mark and 2.9 for the filters @ #217254 so quite a lot earlier than that one.

I have a few variants shown here in the front row:

The variations here include black top, nickel and meters and feet variations. In addition the first four from the left have the f2.9 mark for use with the short-lived Agfa filters. The first 3 from the left have the slot feature below the aperture ring. The last 3 from the centre to the right have an infra-red mark. The item at the back, modelling the SOOMP hood, is actually the head of one of these variations with the mount of another; probably done by a repair man many years ago. In addition to these, I have an early nickel rigid model and a coated version of the last lens on the right here. I can post photos of these if anyone is interested.
