Abstract: A marker suitable for use under conditions of sudden darkness comprising at least one phosphorescent indicium which provides a relatively high level of illumination for a relatively short period of time following exposure to light, sufficient to permit a person's eyes to adjust to darkness and at least one tritium illuminated indicium providing a relatively low level of illumination for a relatively long duration, which level of illumination is sufficient so as to be seen by a person once the person's eyes have adjusted to darkness.

Abstract: A radioactive marker including a housing and a light module disposed in the housing, the light module including a tritium light source disposed in a light source housing.

Abstract: An illuminated gun sight which includes a housing configured for mounting onto a gun and defining a recess having an opening to the exterior of the housing; one or more radioluminous light sources; and apparatus for mounting the one or more radioluminous light sources in the recess so as to expose to a viewer through the opening a predetermined portion of the one or more radioluminous light sources, wherein the recess also has an inward-facing surface having a light reflective coating generally surrounding the one or more radioluminous light sources, the light reflective coating being operative to reflect incident light outwardly through the opening so as to have the appearance in daylight, when viewed from at least a predetermined distance, of a light colored dot, and so as further to have the appearance of an illuminated dot in low light conditions, and wherein the location and size of the illuminated dot are identical to those of the light colored dot.

Abstract: A gun including a main body including a barrel and defining an opening, and a sight mounted onto the main body, wherein the sight includes a top portion protruding externally of the main body; and base apparatus rigidly connected to and extending from the top portion and into an opening arranged in the main body, the base apparatus including a non-threaded portion in peripherally fixed engagement with adjacent portions of the main body, so as to rigidly connect the base apparatus thereto.

Abstract: Apparatus for marking the location of a person in conditions of darkness, including a base configured for mounting in association with the person; and apparatus, mounted onto the base, for displaying an image which when viewed at up to a first predetermined distance has a first appearance, and which when viewed from a distance between the first predetermined distance and a second predetermined distance, has a second appearance different to the first appearance.
