5AR4 rectifier tube question

5AR4 rectifier tube question
@rodman99999  the UK Bugle Boy arrived today.  I can not find any actual ETCHING in the glass, just what is printed on the glass.  It does state that it is a Bugle Boy "MADE IN GT. BRITAIN" and in very light, hard to read print, underneath the "5...
