This is the next-to-last version of the thread-mount Leica and is a true user's jewel. I suspect the 5cm Elmar is an early -- and thus uncoated -- lens, though the 9cm Elmar is a 1951 lens and ought to be coated. To set the synchronization, turn the dial under the shutter-speed dial so that '20' appears. Set the shutter speed to 1/50". If the flash still doesn't fire, I suspect you have a break in your flash cable, and this ought to be replaced. A larger camera store would probably stock this.
