WW2 Zeiss 10x50s. Authentic?

[Marko455]

Hi All- these lack a 3 letter manufacturer code that I’m familiar with being on German ww2 optics. Do you think these are authentic? The appear in amazing condition and the case is dated 43.

Has a put together look, the prism covers look repainted.

What’s the bino’s serial number?

Looks original. See Seeger grey book page 465. 2,300 10 x 50’s with these markings inc WaA’s were ordered March 1939. I agree, though, that the prism covers look repainted.

It looks to me that this bino is repaited and reworked.

Hi, in my opinion the bino is an overpainted wreck, maybe good for using but not to collect

I have a similar 7x50 "wreck"

I still consider it worthwhile to get my bino cleaned down. Maybe I will only get my cleaning abilities exercised, but that is okay too. It is worth a try.
