Wow... that's pretty sad.
Was the engraving as sharp as the one you show with it?
It looks like it was buffed pretty hard to have lost that much definition... or was it extremely worn before you sent it?
I know Geoffroy Gournet produces a wonderful French Gray finish but I don't know if he does it himself or if he sends that work to someone else. You can't go wron by giving him a call. Check out his website for a contact telephone number

He has a heavy French accent and he is not insulted if you ask him to repeat himself... a really nice man.
