Combat (Vietnam)

OK...I admit I cheated just a bit on the third binocular using photoshop to make it fit the story behind the interesting photo. Petro Dorando of Italy was first across the finish line at the 1908 Olympics Marathon, but was later disqualified for having received assistance when people picked him up several times when he collapsed, and also turned him around when he started running in the wrong direction.

A normal and common post 1940’s way to mark binoculars is to use a rotary engraver. A spinning burr or mill cuts the markings, and a geometric arms transfers the cuts to the part by tracing from a master template. This has the enormous flexibility of changing markings by nothing more than changing the template. There are larger rotary burrs with that leavt rotary marks easy to spot, and very small ones only detectable with an eye loup. Contrasting paint is normally wiped into the cuts. Because the paint is in the marking cut, it is quite durable. A disadvantage to rotary engraving is being limited to line marked letters or logos. A common 1980’s and later binoculars marking method is surface silk screen printing. Advantages are that it is cheaper, faster, and as a print process lends itself to non line graphics and multi color designs. A disadvantage is that it is a surface paint marking, with potential durability and adhesion issues, particularly on chrome plate as used on miniature pattern prism covers. The silk screen paint marking is often partly missing on used binoculars.
