Telescope Reviews: Re: Who know this binoculars..?

Waldi ,

Widely Respected Japanese Optics collector and commentator Fan Tao spoke highly of a Japanese made 7 x 35 Belfont Wide - Angle model which may have been made earlier than the 10 x 50 you have , which nonetheless does have the appearance of a Japanese made instrument from yesteryear .

See if you can find a JB code marking ( usually etched behind the bridge close to where a tripod adaptor would fit a newer model ) and a number , and if you find one , you may find the name of the manufacturer from the following list :
