Probably won't find any samples because it's a converted oscilloscope lens - the one I suspect you are looking at has scratches on the front element and no aperture (so it could be rather limiting) - unless you have the opportunity to try it out before commiting to purchase I'd stay away (just my view).
You could of course buy yourself a bargain 67 Super-Multi-Coated Takumar 300mm f4.0 for less than a quarter of the price - mine is begging for a new owner

Hi John,
I don't want to buy it, It's suprise me how fast is the lens and it's probably works well for portraits photography. It's interesting somebody make lenses like this, that must be a something unique. F1.9 on 6x7 format must be a difficult to focusing. I need to find some samples of this lens or something close to this lens. It's interesting for me, specially when Pentax lenses are outstanding.
Thanks a million John.

If you search on "Carl Zeiss Jena Visionar 183 mm f/ 1.9 Lens", you'll get some hits. I think the Rathenow is a licensed version of that.

Some people call me 'strange'.
I prefer 'unconventional'.
But I'm willing to compromise and accept 'eccentric'.

Ok,
Now I know a bit more about this lenses and most of name Visionar and cover the format 6x7 from around 140mm up.
Also I found fella who convert them for 645 and 6x7 format. Effects are very interested but combo with this lenses are quite heavy

If anyone use this lens on P 6x7 ?
I can't find anything in internet, no samples no reviews.
Cheers,
Irek.
