What gets me with the logo imprint, is that if you turn (rotate) the light the other side is upside down.
You have to turn the light (bezel on left) to the right to view the other side properly. Weird. Oh well.
It's like the difference between US & Can coins. US coints you 'flip' vertically to view the opposite end rightside up. Can coints, you turn sideways. Ahhh forget the explaination, get a pair of coins and see for yourself
Getting dizzy thinking about it

My old-style round bodied 6P has no markings on the body. Written around the button of the tail cap is "Laser Products Fountain Valley, CA" or something (it's not in front of me right now). I think I bought this 6P in 2001.

The etching can be the 'wrong way up' when a left-handed person takes over the etching for a shift. SureFire have tried to fire left-handed staff to prevent this from happening but it seems something sinister has been getting in their way.
SureFire made the decision to ensure their brand logo was on their products, where possible about the same time PK started at SureFire which was in the mid-to-late 90's I believe.
The change at the millennium, and the introduction of the new (current) SureFire logo set the standard for this.

It's funny how 2 of my 6P bodies have reverse upside down etching, while my 6P Defender is right side up :shrug:

Like I said, it's the left-handed operator loading the bodies from the other side of the machine.

Does this make the 'lefty editions' collector's items? Hehe

I'm a righteous lefty myself, and I work for the 'British Government' not SureFire.
They say that only one in ten people are lefties. I'd hope that more than 10% of readers realise I'm kidding!

Don't worry Al I think everyone knew. Pretty funny.

I guess we still haven't answered the topic's question. I have a couple old 6Ps and 9Ps with no etching on the bodies at all.

You know, I happen to realize this today on my L1 too.
I'm a righty. The etching L1 DIGITAL LUMAMAX is the right way up. But the other side with the words SureFire is the wrong way up.
Size15's Purple A2 is a Lefty! At least on one side though.
