The 1960 Dolt catalog shows the Chouinard carabiner and Chouinard pitons. These early Chouinard created pitons do not have "Lost Arrow" wordage or the "USA" on the pitons. However some of them have the Diamond C logo stamp. It is interesting that the Lost Arrows have not been named Lost Arrows yet. So sometime between 1960 and 1963 the Lost Arrow wordage was given to the pitons.
