dankidd Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Hey guys. I have recently inherited a pair of E. Leitz Wetzlar 7x50 Marsept binoculars. The story behind them was they were taken from a German WW2 POW and kept in the family. The serial number is 479707 and I was wondering if anyone was able to date them from the serial number and maybe tell me a bit more about them because info seems hard to come by after a google search!

matone Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 Don`t know much about them tbh but they were a highly regarded name in optics! Should be good light gatherers in that spec too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted November 16, 2019 Report Share Posted November 16, 2019 (edited) I may be wrong, but I believe the present Leica (stands for Leitz Camera) brand is a 'descendant' of E. Leitz. High quality in their day. but I don't think that coatings were available then, so despite being top quality in their day, they may not show so well against the current all coated types.
