Hello,
I don't know exactly what you mean with "signature", but if it's about the maker, these ones were made by Carl Zeiss (Iena)...

on the left part is maker mark - Carl Zeis from Jena . On the right part are marking of
1st line : the type of glasses - Diesntsglass - means service binoculars ( lornetka sluzbowa )
2nd line : 6x30 ENLARGEMENT ( powiekszenie )
3rd line :1772396 serial number ( numer seryjny )
4th line : H/6400 means that this glasses are COMPATIBLE with army land maps ( if I'm not wrong ) - ( zgodnosc z mapami wojsk ladowych)

On the far left side there is also a circle. It means that it was later, during the war, secured with vacuum grease. It should provide safe and smooth working in temperatures up to -40 C. The circle should be bright blue.
