George, this is pretty rough, but not beyond hope and I see lots of possibilities. I've seen guns worse than this brought back so that a person could never tell how bad it was before. If a person needs names or discussion, contact me.
I can make out enough engraving to make me think that something close to this was originally there: |

It's like a magic eye trick. It took me knowing what to look for, by seeming Bruce's example to see it. Now it sticks out plain as day.

Getting closer to being done
This is not a post, It is a tribute to the men who have worked on this project.
Look at the top picture, taken on Edgar's kitchen table months ago. Look at the pictures below, taken today. FYI- some pitting had to stay. But surprisingly, it's really only visible under photography. |

Yes Brian and Mills, there is a dog.
The barely dog is now visible in all its glory. Again, the pitting is not visible under normal conditions.
To remove all the little pocks would have destroyed the original engraving. |

She's gonna be a real beauty when she's done. The cleanup on that receiver is amazing.
