I have a Lyman Super Targetspot which I ordered a research letter for from Parson’s in 2006. I have many pre-war Lyman catalogs, but no post-war, so I don’t know if they were doing the same, but I suspect so. “Probably,” only because many optical companies began hyping coating services right after the war a ’48 Unertl catalog I have devotes about 10 pages to promoting their coating service for anything optical–binoculars, camera lenses, etc. It’s easier, however, to distinguish between pre- and post-war scopes of all makes: lens coatings (developed in Germany) became a big selling point right after the war, so a bluish reflection on the lens probably means post-war. Very good question about the serial number sequence, and now that Parsons is not around to answer it, it may be difficult to find out for sure don’t waste your breath asking the folks now running dear the old Lyman company! post-war serial numbers in the Targetspot series? I am also curious if anybody has an idea of the break point for pre-war vs. I have always wondered if Lyman manufactured each model of Targetspot with its own serial number sequence, or were they were all numbered in the same sequence?
