Scratches on a Black Widow

Gentlemen,

I appreciate your opinion, thanks. However, I should have given a few more details about the gun itself in order to explain why I wanted to bother with these rather miniscule scratches.

My father disarmed a German NCO/officer during the liberation of Norway in May 1945. Since then it's been in the family, it came into my possession last week. I did some servicing on it some 10 years ago, the scratches were not there at that time. The former owner must have dropped it or something, making those scratches that really stick out now - a pity, because the rest of the gun is in very good condition. They are definitely part of the gun's modern-day history, but I am still considering whether to do something about them.

Regards,

Balder
