Thanks for the info on the lens.  The Novar was Zeiss Ikon's name for
outside lenses, normally made by Rodenstock, Hensoldt, Steinheil, or the
like.  These are normally three-element lenses of creditable, but not
outstanding, performance.

The Contina with 2.8 Tessar, now, is rather rare and more interesting, as it
was 'Zeiss Ikon's Answer' to the Vito B, a nice P&S if there ever was one.
