The post-evacuation marking is missing the hammer and sickle, which were used during 1940-1941 production in Leningrad. Technically, production of GOMZ binoculars ended in Autumn 1941, but during the initial production period in Kazan, the factory still used the GOMZ logo (stylized ray of light). Production continued until the Autumn of 1941, when due to the German and Finn offensive on Leningrad, part of the GOMZ factory was evacuated to Kazan, and included into the structure of Kazan optical-mechanical factory. In 1940 it restored binocular production, but this time it produced the standardized B-6 6x30 model. The GOMZ factory produced binoculars in the 1920's-1930's, it stopped production of their own design B-1 6x30 model in 1936.
