Before and after pics.
I had to cut the lettering 3 times as the pits were filed down.

Beautiful job. Did you keep track of the time you put into the smoothing process? How about a photo of the slide fixture you used? Thanks for posting this.
Cheers

Mark,

Nice looking work!
Do you ever do anything that is easy?

That is a hard question, I should be able to answer that.
The answer is sometimes I do something easy, and that is a "Definite Maybe."

Nice design and very clean cutting.

You might have been able to avoid cutting the lettering three times by taking a smoke pull before filing.

Hi Mike, yes, your right.
But the lettering and the Colt on the left side was so weak I had to look up what was supposed to be there.
Then I thought that it was deep enough----I was wrong!

That is often the case on restorations. You did an excellent job of cutting the lettering
