How are they marked? Tell me every marking you can find on them. Do they have rubber around the eye pieces? <br>

Okay. <br>On the crosspeice that bends between the tubes is marked(in white letters) ZIESS West Germany <br>On the opposite side is marked 15X60. <br>On the focus knob flat it is marked: MADE IN WEST GERMANY(in white) T*(in red) in an arch. <br>There is also a serial number stamped here:187XXXX. <br>There a 3 different graduated scales on variuos parts. <br>Foucus knob has a +/- scale on it. <br>Right eyepeice has a +/- scale on it. <br>Center axle on crosspeice between tubes has a 60/70 degree scale on it. <br>There isn't any other letters or numbers I can see. <br>They are black armoured. <br>Have no rubber on the eyepeices but large soft black rubber cups that fit over the objective lenses. These cups are permanently attached to the inside side of the tubes. <br>Bud says he thought these were bought back about 1985 or 86. <br>Hope this helps.

That model is worth about $1000.00 - $1300.00 on the retail level.
