This is a very ambitious project for someone not versed in restoration to engage in. I wish you the best with your gun. It's great that you started this thread. I hope you will entertain thoughts and observations as you progress. I hope you understand that the gun will have to be case hardened if you anneal the frame. The receiver cannot be left in a soft state.
Also, 320 grit is a bit heavy for frame polishing. It appears that you have polished over the engraving. I would have approached it a bit different. I know you plan to recut the engraving, but I would not have polished over the engraving. Same with the barrels. I would polish no finer than 220 grit on the barrels of a VH.
Just my thoughts..........
