yes -- you missed me--- i was not there. family circumstances are such that i don't travel far from home. not to blame family, i really don't enjoy travelling much these days anyway.

What i see is a big scratch? From his left arm coming down, you can burnish those out always an opportunity to learn. Seach the forum for tips and tricks for burnishing.

I spotted that... it was so straight I thought it might be a part of the design!

thanks for the replies guys

about that mark, was not my fault, it was there when I got the lighter, he said he scratched it with a knife. Wanted to fix it but he told me to leave it...

learn to "fix" a scratch on a practice plate first. simple enough to do, but without a bit of practice, one can make it worse.
