Either way, it will cost money. The issue is how much he cares to spend. For a bit of proud metal.

Nice. Good call - that hadn't even occurred to me. (work on the underside of the rib). Either that or, grinding the flats (assuming there's material) seems to be the proper way 'technically' because it maintains elevation poi in a manner consistent with the design. No way I'm removing the rib though. Besides, while I'm certainly not in a hurry to spend money, the notion of a one-off rust blue job doesn't sound horrible to me considering how gorgeous barrels turn out following such work. The 'technically' lower poi resulting from the blending of the dolls head frame>rib would be negligible, I would think..
