E Leitz Wetzlar Binoculars Serial Numbers Online.These binoculars are definitely worth it in my opinion. If there anything not quite right with it I'd have it serviced in Wetzlar, even though the price for a thorough cleaning is pretty stiff nowadays. Some of these old pairs need cleaning, they sometimes show some slight hazing (most easily observed when you look through the objective lenses against the light). If it's in really good condition, both mechanically and optically, it must be in the region of 600-800 €. The value of one of the original 15圆0's is hard to estimate.

I find them a bit more difficult to handhold because of the thick rubber armour. They're optically up to scratch, even by today's crazy standards. The 15圆0 GAT*(rubber-armoured and with modern T* coatings, but still with Erfle eyepieces) and the 15圆0 BGAT* (modern eyepieces, but a narrower field of view) were later developments that disappeared quite quickly from the market again because large porros had become somewhat unfashionable by then. Sure, contrast and brightness are not that good by modern standards, but they're still very nice binoculars with a wide field of view (80m). There are still quite a few of those around. If your pair was bought before 1974 it must be the original model with Erfle eyepieces. It was one of the original range of porros with air-spaced achomats.
