Howard, From a technical point of view... a grease pencil approach to replacing the missing enamel paint on the Gesichert safety marking area is abhorrent.

In the restoration work I do I strive to be as accurate and original as I can possibly be. Any other approach is alien to me.

The Gesichert safety marking was originally painted with enamel and that's what should be used.
