Thats a lot of pits but at least the proof marks aren't damaged! Thor, a couple of questions if you don't mind. Do you weld/build up any of the really badly pitted surfaces or do you just carefully resurface the metal? Second, is there any chance you could photograph your work on this project as it progresses?

You do beautiful work and it would be a real education to see the progressive steps. I reworked a S&W revolver that had pits like that and know and appreciate the immense labor involved.

Thanks

Charlie
