Hello Aida,

welcome to Birdforum!

I cant say anything about this particular modell, but some general remarks, that you well might already know?

The (sale) value of a used binocular depends much on its condition. Yours look good, but optics cant be judged:

• are there any scratches/marks on the lenses?
• I dont know, if the lenses and prismn are coated, but maybe they are not (it should be printed on the inscription??? And some kind of blueish sheen should be visible in your pictures? And they seem to be very vintage, before coating was invented around 1935 according to wikipedia).
• If your binocular is coated: is the coating undamaged/pristine?
• any fog/dust or fungus inside? (an LED torchlight is a nasty (fies says google translate), but useful tool to check this)
• is the collimation ok?

The Lemaire has been discussed here before: Lemaire Super Wide Angle 7x35
