What years is my soon to arrive Contax II

[lxmike]

My Contax II is soon to arrive, is there any available list of serial numbers and their associated production date, the serial number of my Contax is: 50855. Any help gratefully accepted

That won't be the serial - there ought to be a letter at its start.

Stephen has a page at the Cameraquest website about the Contax II/III with serial numbers and years of Zeiss production, if you check that it will provide the year.
