This is not a Leica issue, but occasionally there is a question re: binoculars, and I am seeking advice and information re: repair facilities for my Carl Zeiss/Jena, 7x50, Dienstglas, WWII, Luftwaffe pair. The eyepiece threads are stripped and there is disintegration of material inside. The item was a Christmas gift from my parents almost fifty years ago, so I prize it highly and would like to put it in good working order. Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.
