You can take the ocular off the microscope and invert it. Kind of like a jewelers loop, high quality.

Take a digital picture with the camera image set to raw format for the most detail. Then zoom in when its displayed and that should be as good as a loop.

By raw I mean.... http://www.techhive.com/article/1879...tal_focus.html

You can also look backwards through one tube of a pair of binoculars. Place the object under examination within an inch or closer to the eyepiece. Having good illumination helps!

I had a potato chip with Elvis' head on it, but I ate it.

Trigger guards getting stuck onto plates is not all that uncommon. Sometimes they just will not turn off. I am sure more than one has had pliers put on the fronts of them to free them.
Of course, there is better ways to do it than that.

The marks, being on the medial side of the trigger guard bow, and there being no corresponding marks on the lateral side of the bow, leads me to believe it was done at PB when it was held in place for engraving. Of course, I could be wrong... we'll never know.
