I was given a c.1972 Nikkormat and am wondering where some lense options might be.

Just about any Nikon manual focus lens except Series E lenses (they work but don't couple to the meter). In general, if the manual focus lens has the slotted tab on the aperture ring, it will couple with the cameras meter.
ALSO: Make sure you know how to properly mount a lens with the cameras pin coupling if you don't already know.

Try a Google search, there are many available. For TTL metering, any Nikon mount lens with the meter prong will work.
You know you can use later AI and AI-S lenses on that older Nikkormat, don't you?
Or are you just looking for lenses that are similar age as the camera?
I was a professional back in the 70's so I suppose nostalgia is driving the quest for circa 1972 lenses. My fav was the 100mm/f2.5 lenses for head shots, etc
