Barrel markings

CHARLESL · 04-07-2009, 12:08 PM

I have an original blued s/42 1937 Luger that obviously someone
had his social security number lightly stenciled on the left side receiver of the pistol. It did not scratch or harm the underlying metal just the finish. My Question is which is worse . To have a professional
try to restore the barrel or leave it alone. The numbers definitely take away from the pistol but I don't want to make it worse. If there is anyone who does this type of work i would like to have it done if they think it is worthwile . any opinions would be greatly appreciated
Thank You
