Nice collectors item. $ 90 BIN
Lens is an extra-large aperture Schneider Xenar (well, for the time), but the early first version Xenar, which is a BACKWARDS Tessar !
I.e., cemented pair in front, air-spaced pair in back.
Also has an interchangeable lens mounting system, like the Voigtlander Berheil.
Quite an odd duck this little Certo.
