I took my magnifier down and measured the ghost imagine of the original decal.

1. The decal is on the front of the flange above the bubble. Steve D.'s previous post above has a good close-up reference pic.
2. The overall length of both words is 3"
3. The height of the words is 3/16ths
4. I would say the spacing of the two words from the bottom to the "T" to bottom edge of the "R" is also about 3/16ths.

Good luck Chuck and thanks.

Noice.

I have print ready artwork finished, I need to know if the color is metallic gold or just a golden color. Metallic gold will be bright, the printer will use a metal foil to print the color.

This is actual size, you should be able to print it and cut it out to see how it fits on the flange. Let me know if the size needs to be corrected.

Looks great Chuck. I actually don't have a printer to check it I wonder if someone else can do it.
I would say just a golden color would be best as long as it has the black outline.
I looked at the link and the height looks quite a bit bigger than 3/16th's, which it must be, as well as the overall length being 3" max.

I guess there's not much interest in the decal Chuck Supposedly there's not a whole lot of the "deluxe" lenses around, but it would've been great to have the decal available.
Thanks for your efforts anyway.

The final artwork is finished, I just sent it off to DaveA to see how it fits on the magnifier.

I'll print a few in with another decal job I have, so there will be a few available.

It's a nice job on the artwork, it's hard to find someone who can print gold though.

The lack of actual magnifiers is probably the biggest reason for lack of interest.

I have three Pilots and zero magnifiers.

That's what is great about the ALPS printer, printing gold or silver is no harder than printing any color, it even prints white.

I have two different types of Pilot magnifiers but they're both in storage up in a house in the San Bernardino mountains 105 miles away. I broke my ankle and had surgery so I can't drive up there or climb stairs when I got there. I think it's great Chuck was able to do the Artwork.

Chuck, if you do eventually have a decent decal available, please let me know. As I said I would be glad to pay you fairly.
I finally figured out how to post pics other than using Photobucket. You can see how faded my decal has become. Just a ghost image now.

They are finished and ready, if you want a couple send me a stamped self addressed envelope. Email or PM me and I'll give you a mailing address.

Do you have any more of the decals? If so I would like to buy one or two.
