Randy, looking at the pics, I am not so sure about touch up in this area. I agree the proofing is a bit washed out, but may well be worn dies. Look at the whole gun overall, and look for minute variations in finish in this area. High res pics in daylite may show up beter. It would be nice to find one really close to this ser# to compare the stamps. It seems to me that alot of the later salt blue guns had weak proofing.
