George,

Years ago, I was given an early, pre-war Speed Graphic that had an 
uncoated 6" Tessar.  I used it a little, then traded for something 
else.  I have my father-in-law's Speed Graphic in a box in the bottom of 
a stack in a closet, but, as I  recall, it had a 127mm, not sure of the 
manufacturer.  Those were my points of reference.
