He told me it was a Zuiko. But since the lens is sold and his story can't be
checked, let's go back to the origin of my email: what is the 300/2.8 lens
that's described in the recently published Kadlubek's Lens Catalogue? It
certainly was not marked 'Brand xxx made for Olympus'. Maybe we can write
the authors and check their sources...
