This is the retaining ring for a Series VII filter. Leica made them and may still stock some. Heliopan, B+W, and Harrison & Harrison all market them. And they are common used: Kodak ones normally can be had for a dollar or three each. Many other Leica lenses used Series filters, including a number of the R lenses and the 1.4/35 Summilux-M.
