This is a 3.5/50mm Leitz Elmar lens which can be used on all Leica screw mount bodies (as well as Canon, Bessa and other Leica copies). Additionally it can also be used on the later Leica M models if you have an adapter. 

 

The serial number 543321 indicates that it was produced in Germany in 1940. The lens is in exceptionally fine condition and is one of the finest WWII Emars you'll ever seen. If you’ve been looking for a correct, authentic lens for your wartime Leica, then you've just found it. It's a beautiful  lens. The glass looks virtually like new. It’s clean and clear. There is no haze, no scratches, no cleaning wisps and it’s capable of producing very lovely photos on modern color and B&W films. 

 

All in all, a great compact lens with that special Leica character that will perfectly complement your classic Leica camera.
