I bought an Asahi Pentax and three lenses in Japan in 1967, and they
had the stickers.

Like so many here have mentioned, while stationed overseas in the 60's I
bought
a Minolta SRT-101 Kit from somewhere in Asia and those lenses also had the
JCII stickers on them.

Remember the little oval silver stickers? I bought a few Nikon lenses from
someone named Chen in Hong Kong that lacked those "passed" stickers, and both
lenses were disappointing. Don't know if that was the reason, but I sure paid a
lot less. The name "Nikon" was covered with a black coating of
Pentax also had a costly quality control.
Lenses were tested in Japan then sent to
Usa where they were tested again before
being sold here in USA. Its no wonder the lenses
were of high quality, no duds ever got
sold, they were rejected by QC dept.
I doubt Pentax still tests every lens twice.
