paul wood Posted July 11, 2016 Share 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.

Tony Posted July 12, 2016 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
