Hiya BF,First time poster, long time lurker here.just thought I'd share a set of binos I picked up recently and hopefully find more information on them from you all other than what's posted on the internet since you all seem to be very knowledgeable on these vintage binoculars.
Here are a few photos I grabbed below, let me know if you would like to see more. They look okay, came with a cheap case that says 'Taiwan' on it, hopefully these aren't total copies likes the infamous Zeiss binos I've seen. They have a pretty good scratch on what looks like the inside of one of the lenses which is kinda odd, I guess someone tried to open them up and did that.good thing is that the view doesn't seem to be affected.
These have the range finder filter, I'd like to know how this thing works if anyone knows.
EDIT: Looks like my picture angle cut the serial number off.it's 545763 (found below the 'Wetzlar')
