Hello,
Someone just brought me an amp with unusual EL34. I've never seen this funny logo before.
They are labeled EL34 G, and look like Sovtek EL34G (base, mica, getter). But does anyone know the production of these tubes ?
Thanks for your help.
Cyril.

3 faces on the logo, maybe relabeled Sovtec for use in India.
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.

I got the answer ! 
They are Orion Tubes, but in fact, this is rebadged Sovtek production (exactly the same EL34-G). So not very good tubes
They also had some Polam and Telam ones.
From the watfodvalves website : "Orion Radio valves were originally a brand name of the Tungsram factory of Hungary. In later years this was used by as a brand by valves distributors and wholesalers".
Here are a few different Orion badged EL34 I could find (left = Sovtek), if it helps :
