I own an old Zuiko of which the coloured lettering came off by itself,
due to age and wear, but under it there was no black paint left - only
plain aluminium.
Since then I have always thought that the engraving of the lettering
took place after the black paint had been applied. Am I wrong?
It seems a bit odd that you can 'erase' the orange foot-scale with the
black paint remaining in place, when ordinary wear takes away both
paint layers at the same time...
