[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 323583, member: 360"]The most obvious place to find markings is on the eyepieces. That usually has stuff like company name, address, or retailers' details. If not, then check the bridge. There'll be things on there like company logos etc. A butterfly indicates LeMaire. A C inside a six-point star is Colmont. There were other symbols. I don't remember them all so late at night... Are the opera glasses silver? If so, 835 might be the purity of the silver (83.5%). Any photographs of the opera glasses? They might help...[/QUOTE]
