Hi, I'm new here. What a great forum!
I came across some pretty beat up old binoculars that were my grandfather's from Germany. While very faded, I can see they are Carl Zeiss Jena D.R.P.
Most serial numbers seem to be 6 numbers, but these are only 4.
I've searched and read many of the previous Zeiss posts to help identify them and they all seem to point to a page by Peter Abrahams on a site called Europa.com. That website looks be down and for sale now, unfortunately. Does anyone know any other serial number listing sites or a pdf to help identify the year? I can only find one for lenses.
