What can be done (restoring engraving)

First pic is a CE Fox trigger guard that was buffed before being blued. It must have been heavily corroded. Engraving is pretty much gone on its tail. Guard bow is weak. Serial number gone. No engraving on the trigger guard screw head.

Next few pics show engraving restored. Serial number was also put back on but isn't shown in these pics. Silvers

Silvers, are you doing the engraving yourself? If so, nice work.

Fin, I wish I could do work like that. It was done by Geoffroy Gournet in Easton, PA. I sent some pics of what it should look like and he took it from there. Frank
