Hi guys
I recently purchased binoculars marked Zeiss Weitzler 6x30 Serial no. 70972 I can't find documentation to confirm their authenticity. Does anybody know anything about these vintage binoculars? |

I have never heard of any fakes made on these (west)german binoculars made in the Wetzlar area. Flick an e-mail to Zeiss, give them the info you have and ask for information, or try to find your binocular and serial number starting on this page: http://www.birdforum.net/showthread.php?t=105944 There´s a lot of info in the various posts there.

if the spelling is like you posted
Zeiss Weitzler 6x30 they are taiwan or japan look-alike, not necessarily bad but certainly a dime a dozen. Zeiss was never based in Weitzler, Wetzlar is hometown for Leica and a few others. |
