One of the latter was offered for sale here in London a few months
ago. Now I know why it's called a "Combat" Graphic - if your personal
weapon jammed you could kill your opponent with one blow with what to
my eyes looks visually like an "M on Steroids"

BTW can you provide any bibliographic details for the book on the
Contax S family? A check on Amazon.com showed no sign of it.
