Making them look untouched

[B. Dudley]

The owner of this DH wanted the checkering recut.

Pointing everything up to be like new would just not fit in with the surrounding finishes, which were original and showing signs of age and use.

A very careful job was done of cleaning and deepening each line so that the end result is one that does not suggest any work was done. It looks like it wore that way with use over the years. But it is much better than before.

The hinge pin screw was also very buggered up so it was replaced with a good used one. and properly timed.

My goal with work like this is for me to be able to casually see the gun years later and not recognize that I worked on it. It has happened a few times, and I love it when it does.
