The Silca pumps have been hot stamped rather than pantographed.
"Pantoed ALE bottle - how many ALE bottles do you see pantoed for Japanese marques?"
The ALE bottles have been screen printed.

impesssive, pantoing the BB axle that isn't even visible when the bike is
assembled. The adjustable cup has three little hummingbirds - the Zunow
logo, along with spades."
The Zunow logo on the axle was roll formed and the cup logos were all press
imprinted rather than pantographed.

on one side and the hummingbird on the other, but could not get good photos.
Will try photoing on the bike along with Zunow markings on the DO's, Zunow
tubing decal, and the spade and hummingbird cutouts in the lugs."
The dropouts have been press imprinted while the lug, bottom bracket, and crown Zunow logos are all investment cast in.
The aluminum stems and seat posts have been pantograph engraved.
The toe straps have been hot stamped.
Zunow was well known and held in special high esteem by the cycle business in the Osaka area on account of their high style and originality.
Tange and Sugino were both very willing to logo mark parts for Zunow.
