scratch my name into some of my equipment

I think that punching your name into the equipment is by far the most common way to mark it. I think some of the helmet DB photos on RAT show that.

True but that still gets back to the question of what font would be used. Did they punch out the letters as they would be written as script?

Whoops. Lost track of your question.

Most of the few (about 20) punched examples I've seen, used block letters, e.g., the "Roman Quadrata" (aka "Square Capitals") font. This data set is too small to be reliable.

Hopefully other RAT members can provide more definitive answers.
