Grainy MP44 drawings

OGF-G-247 · 10-26-2018, 05:18 PM

Hello gents, longtime lurker with a question:

I have a set of MP44 machinist drawings I've downloaded long ago, but the quality is so so:
Resolution of 1152 x 1724, and faded lines and half legible measurements.

Is there any way, or anyone, that can restore these beauty's to their former glory?

How many pages are there? Please post a link or upload one of them where I can get one of the prints in the full resolution and I will happy to see what improvements could be made. The Luger P.08 blueprints set that I sell for $25.00 a download (Shameless plug for my prints) were meticulously done by hand. Scanned a portion at a time, cleaned, and carefully annotated pixel by pixel, and then digitally stitched together to their original size... Half legible measurements can be either deciphered or worst case, interpolated from other measurements. I have never had a complaint about readability...

Thanks for your reply, John.

Not all of the drawings need heavy attention, but some of the more important parts, like the trigger group and such are in desperate need of some TLC.

Is it ok if I send them to an e-mail adress of your choice via WeTransfer?

Better keep plugging your work, I bought them some years ago, and it's worth every penny.

Yes, but the email it was under was lost, because my provider outphased it. And since I don't remember my password, that's a dead end.

Not a great loss though, I never really posted anything worthwile anyway.
