Extraordinarily Clear Glass in this Old Hassy 1600 Lens

This old lens is my senior by a few years, and I am retired. It was designed for the Hasselblad 1600 and 1000 Models; these were the models that debuted the Hasselblad prior to the V Series with the leaf shutters that made them king of professional medium format cameras. The chrome looks pretty good, but as I examined the glass, this is a really clear lens.
