This is not going to be a full-scale review. By the look of the logo I can tell it was made somewhere between 1947 to 1956. Leitz optics still exists today.Today I received an old Meopta 6x30, single-layer coated and with center focus. The 45 degree angle is one of the most comfortable angles to help an observer sustain for extended watches. They aided in the following wartime tasks: daylight observation of enemy troop movements directing fire from artillery toward advancing enemy troops and armor directing fire at unfriendly aircraft and night observation. These binoculars were ruggedly constructed and essentially bulletproof, designed to withstand the perilous conditions of the battlefield. This filter was important to have due to the military tactic of planes flying in the sun so they couldn’t be seen from land. The light gray filters allow for better contrast in poor lighting conditions, and the very dark gray filter allows for objects to be viewed in bright sunlight. There is clear, light gray, medium dark, and very dark gray. The binoculars also feature internal filters, or sun shades. The inside of the binoculars has been cleaned professionally, the outside smoothly polished. Stylishly built-up with a half gimballed brace system of polished aluminum on a matching teak stand. Optical quality is excellent: perfectly clear presentation, sharp contrast, crystal clear image. (Doppel Fernrohe) 10 x 80 observation binoculars.
