Is this repairable w/o affecting bigger area?

Yes, Bolo. I like Bolo because regular C96 grip is too big for me. Regular Bolo with 4" barrel is almost same lenght as Luger 1900. I got various kinds of Bolos, only missing a prewar Bolo with short stock. Of course, I don't feel I will be lucky to find a LRH Bolo.

Maybe obvious for professional? I don't know. I am a talker, not a doer.

Maybe you should ask Thor...He is an expert at depositing metal where it has been removed...

The main problem is that any repair that deposits new metal will affect the original blueing. Even if you could press or epoxy a filler piece in place, you would still have to file contour it to blend which would remove blueing from the base part. I thought we collect history here, this is part of this piece's history. As you said, it makes for a nicer sight picture. As far as the white paint comment, why not coat it with some Caseys matte black touch-up. Only you will know, unless you hang out with guys from this forum. Best Regards! Joe
