Zeiss Big Research Microscope from about 1911

Hi together,
I don't collect microscopes but there a few collectible microscope types I'm interested in as much that I actually would buy one. One was a well equiped research microscope from around WW 1.
I haven't really looked for one and thus it had to come to me: A Zeiss Big Resaerch Microscope from about 1911. It used to belong to a professor who had it inside a vitrine on his desk and inherited it to the sellers, who kept it in a cupboard from then on. I had a somewhat tiresome week and picking it up from the very nice sellers has put me in a much better mood.
Everything works, only little damage I found was at the revolver where the lid shows a gap to the revolver on one side. One part of the slde holder is missing. It really needs to be serviced.
It is equipped whith some components that are not original: A binocular tube, a Leitz "3" objective and a Zeiss "1/7'' Homogene Immersion" n.a. 0,85 objective. Can anybody of you identify and date these 3 items?
