Roger:
It seems Marc is off line, he has good info about the
pre-war Contax models, I'll try to help. Your camera is a pre-war
Contax III (it's like the Contax II but provided with lightmeter), the
B letter indicates your camera is from about 1937 (some sources say
the B is for 1936, however I have a Contax II # B 33268 and Marc wrote
it's from 1937), but your lens is from 1929/30, it is too old for the
Contax II/III (they were manufactured from 1936), are you sure about
the number?, anyway since the lenses are interchangeable the combo
could be possible thinking about the Contax I made from 1932. My CZJ
Sonnar 1,5/50 SN is 2188792 from 1937.-
