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!

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.
