Just bought one. The package says "laser etched" however it looks more like a decal to me - maybe it is a laser etched decal :-). Anyway, if you look out on the Starrett website and zoom in on the photo you can see what I mean. Based on the reviews and my experience it really seems hit or miss with these. I would gladly pay the full price for one that some competent person had checked and verified before shipping (in the good-old-days this was called quality control) but as it is the one I ordered on 11/09/2014 clearly displays the non-matching scales as others have reported.

My 505A-7 was shipped on the 8/04/14. On the box there was a label about being laser engraved for accuracy. The numbers and degrees marks are raised above the surface of the metal ( I would say less that a .001 of an inch) for you can feel them. In other words the surface is not smooth like the information on the legs. The information on the legs looks to be printed for the surface is very smooth. This tool is very accurate, I've check it with several of my other degree measuring tools.

I'm not sure as to where it could be marked. If at all, the under or back side of the unit. I know there's only a few variations in design aside from round and oblong. Different materials, composites etc. Other than that, very similar. It really helps when buying anywhere online to know exactly what it is you're looking to purchase. Go out to other stores and view in person, then shop here once you're certain of model and baseline pricing. Sorry I can't me of greater assistance.

No color on the metal that I can tell. It has the look and feel of a brushed metal. The texture provides just a little bit of extra grip and it doesn't feel like it has any paint/coating on the metal. As you can see on the picture, elago has a small portion of their info on the metal portion. It feels embossed to me, not engraved. You should be able to engrave it with a laser. For your reference, I used to work at a machine shop so I have handled a lot of metal objects in the past.

I've checked mine, as well, and it has the same 2 small circles showing the manufacturing date. Sorry. It's some kind of acrylic, though, not soft plastic -- if that's of any help.

Theres an "engraved" logo at the very bottom of the back. It's black on black, so you have to angle it against a light to see it. It's well done.

Neither have any branding marks. One is clear and the other is tinted. You'll need to contact the manufacturer to see if it matches any open standards.

Hey James, You should contact the seller you purchased the tags from to give them the engraving info. From your Amazon "My Account" tab, click on "Contact Seller" Nathan

It is etched or cut into the metal. I just got it, but I'd guess it will last a long time.

I gave the cup as a gift so while I'm not 100% positive, I did open the box and pull out the cup to look at it when it arrived. I'm sure if there was any type of engraving/logo on it, I would have noticed it. I'm sorry I can't be of more help than this.

Sorry it's taken so long to respond. I finally was able to take a good look at the device to discovered its origins, but, I must report, there are no marks whatsoever. The package has been tossed, so I guess I can't help.

I'm trying to figure out the same thing. I bought one earlier this year and got it in a few days. Just got on here to order another since I like it so much, and am quite surprised that it says 2-5 months. Trying to figure out how to get ahold of customer service to ask if this is a typo.

The factory words are engraved. But they are only on the right side. Most people that i know that have this sticker put it on their left mirror only. Every vehicle is different. There is a chance yours isn't engraved on the passenger side. Although i recommend what i did... Use the one sticker and sell the other to a friend and you basically get a free sticker :)

Mine does not have any markings. Most likely imported. I have had good luck with it after extensive use. Not bad for the price.

It's not pre engraved, you contact them to get it customized. Very easy and accurate

I used my tap & die set today & some of them are stamped on & some are laser etched. When I answered the other day I took a quick look at one & it was etched, & assumed that they all were, but some are clearly embossed. For some reason my set has both, & I can't figure out any reason for it.

Hello,Funny I checked on decal and all around box but cannot find your answer. I'm sure you can guess its from china that would be mine but I 'am wrong from time to time. It is well made though...
