Hi Marc,
good to know that these are easy to find. The hood included is not
original (or not marked Contax or Zeiss Ikon at least).
Want to date the black dial body and lens?
Body: Y61104
Lens: Zeiss Opton Sonnar 50mm f2 T
Nr. 888425
Eveready case, with name tag in bottom:
Col. H.P.R. Hansen (military?)
Cheers,
Thor

Anyone know where I can find a hood that fits/is designed for the
lens,
either original or after market?
I'm surprised at the vignetting. A Series VI hood and adapter should
work
well, though I confess that I am not familiar with a "6B" shade. You
need
a 40.5mm screw-in lens shade and these are regularly available either
new
(Harrison & Harrison, B+W, Heliopan, &c) or used. You also can use a
42mm
slip-on shade, a size shared with many Leica lenses.
The Zeiss Ikon originals are readily available as they were made in
vast
quantities, though the Prewar versions are becoming a bit harder to
find.
Check on eBay or with the larger collectible camera shops.
