Ndhunter1887 Posted July 15, 2020 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2020 Is there some magical trick to read faded field gear date and maker stamps? My shovel cover I got for free is almost readable but just can’t quite do it. By the color of the cloth I’d say it’s a 43 or 44 cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonT Posted July 15, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 15, 2020 You can try a UV light to see if that helps a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Brannan Posted July 15, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 15, 2020 I would try an infrared light in a dark room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacksmith Posted July 15, 2020 Share #4 Posted July 15, 2020 Discussed previously on the forum, if you use the search feature. As Steve mentions IR is best I’ve found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted July 15, 2020 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2020 I have an old camcorder with a "night-shot" mode, it uses an IR light, really funky stuff, sometimes it does nothing, sometimes it makes invisible markings clear as day, sometimes it makes visible writing (usually from pens, not stamps) completely disappear. If you don't have a camcorder I have heard baby monitors should work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blacksmith Posted July 15, 2020 Share #7 Posted July 15, 2020 No worries, didn’t mean that to be snarky. If you search for “sony nightshot”, there should be a handful of topics that you could look at. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
