IR redfilters in Leiz price lists

If someone would have Leitz price lists of 1933, I would like to know when the IR filter FIKYB appeared for the first time. In English price lists that would be March 1933. So I am curious if also German (and perhaps other language) price lists mention the infrared filter at that moment.

I haven’t got 1933 but this is summer 1935. My 1931 catalogue only lists yellow and UV.

Thank you anyway, and it's interesting as well since in 1935 a few other infrared filters were introduced next to the FIKYB. For various types of lenses different filters were necessary. So these two pages are interesting for me. Is this the whole section with filters?

Thanks, Lex

There is another double page.

Thank you very much, this is very interesting. Apparently Elitz wanted to serve their customers with filters for all of their lenses, or most of them.
