So I'm not sure if there is a thread on this but I haven't found one which talks or goes through all of the different faces of the very early Victa chokes.

So I'm actually starting this thread to ask for input on a range of different style faces and material the very simple but effective choke/airfilter that was used on the early models of Victa.

I have pictures of some I own, 1 a mate owns and other reference pictures.

1: Black writing and the upside-down smile Victa embossed.
2: Red writing and the upside-down smile Victa embossed.
3: Red writing Victa embossed straight.
4: Red start and Run.
5: Showing one that in darkness looks like black writing.
6: Showing in the bright light that the writing is Red.
7: Great example of the effect of UV on colour change
8: More translucent material.

I'd love to see any other orientations or style of these chokes and any history about the evolution of the faces.

This is one that without a bright light, the writing appears black but under a flash is clearly red. The next picture is it under a flash.

A choke with nothing on the face except a great example of colour change caused by UV. This had a price sticker on it for a very long time.
