Keep in mind the "one letter five numbers" code was used for all Zeiss-Ikon cameras (not only for Contax) so these codes do not indicate total Contax production.
Serial Numbers for Contax I
T 1931/32
U 1932/33
V 1933/34
X 1934
Y 1934/35
Z 1935/36
A 1936
An extra letter, before or after the serial block letter, indicates the camera was sent back to the camera for repair. Contax I's WITHOUT a 2nd repair letter code are very hard to find!
Serial Numbers for Contax II e III
Z 1935/36
A 1936
B 1936
C 10001 - 15000 1936
C 87001 - 90000 1937
D 1937
E 1937
F 41001 - 46000 1937
F 72401 - 77400 1938
G 1938
J 1938/39
K 1939
L 1939
M 1940/41
