OK...I admit I cheated just a bit on the third binocular using photoshop to make it fit the story behind the interesting photo.

Miniature binocular markings could be made three ways. The most professional way would be roll marking. A machined roll die impresses the marking into the metal with pressure. The die is expensive, and so is the related machinery. The common way is to use a rotary engraver. A spinning burr or mill cuts the markings, and geometric arms transfers the cuts to the part by tracing from a master template. On most of the rotary engraved markings and some of the roll die markings paint is wiped into the markings. The third and cheapest way of making miniature binocular markings is silk screen (surface) paint marking (usually on later binoculars). This is the least durable, and is often partly missing.

La matrice est coûteux, et il en est de même pour l'équipement connexe. UN moins professionnel moyen est l'utilisation d'un graveur rotatif. Une filature burr ou mill coupures les marquages, géométrique transferts d'armes les compressions budgétaires imposées à la partie par le traçage d'un modèle maître. C'est bon pour une courte production économique s'exécute, mais le résultat est le pétrole brut.
