ORIGINAL B&L 3X-4X-7X magnifier

Eric_Babula

A while back, someone suggested I get an ORIGINAL B&L 3X-4X-7X magnifier. Apparently, these were high-quality and loved by many, but are not made anymore. Can someone post a picture of an ORIGINAL B&L 3X-4X-7X magnifier? Is it a 3X-4X = 7X (meaning, two lenses)? Or, are there 3 lenses, 3X-4X-7X = 20x? Are the Donegan ones I see on Wizard Coin Supply similar (about equal)? https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/donegan-double-folding-pocket-magnifier-3x-4x-7x

Just want to make sure I'm looking for the ORIGINAL, rather than a cheap knock-off.

TIA!

Can't help with the B&L loupe you seek but I'd advise to grab a Zeiss 3x6=9, they are great, easy to find and have two lenses.

If you don't want to spend a lot on a loupe then I'd recommend B&L 7x

I agree with @JohnnyCache ... The Zeiss 3x6=9 is a great loupe... I have used it for years. Cheers, RickO
