Chris Boonzaier Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 Hi, does anyone know what the meaning of a Broadarrow stamp on a pair of Binos with an H under it? Simply that... Broadarroww above H below. Thanks Chris
QSAMIKE Posted July 9, 2016 Posted July 9, 2016 British Govt Issue and the H is a code for the maker ?????? Mike
Chris Boonzaier Posted July 11, 2016 Author Posted July 11, 2016 Hi, Nope, I dont think it is the maker.... here you go....
paul wood Posted July 11, 2016 Posted July 11, 2016 The use of the broad arrow or pheon was introduced in 1544 and is still used as a mark by MOD to denote government issue or property (the mark also used to be on prisoner's uniform) it denotes that the binos were War Office issue. Paul
Tony Posted July 12, 2016 Posted July 12, 2016 I'm guessing the same as Steve on this. There are plenty for sale with 'H' but tracking down a proper explanation is difficult.
