1949 Ernst Lietz Wetzlar Binocular Scope
I’ve identified my microscope by the number on the microscope. I believe it is a BS 48/92K made in 1949. Does anyone know where I can get it appraised? I am located in U.S.

Pictures will help immensely, but without further details I'd estimate somewhere around $100-$250 for an average one one with run of the mill objectives and condenser.
There are some Leitz parts that can change that estimate dramatically though as some condensers and objectives can be worth significantly more than the rest of the microscope (Heine condenser, phase contrast, apochromatic objectives,etc); so again, pics are going to help get an idea of what you have and what it's really worth.
Try to get good detail of any markings on the objectives and condenser; and as always, condition matters too.
