Friend of mine recently came into a pair of Ziess 15x60 rubber covered binoc's. They're not all that old. maybe 15yrs old? Seem to be in excellent condition.
<br>What are they worth?
<br>Thanks

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

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.
