That looks great, I would also be interested in a restoration if offered.

So are we thinking a chemical etch rather than media blasted?

My blasting results weren't that great and that's before my air compressor gave up the ghost. This 'etching' is by far the closest result I've achieved.

Looking VERY interesting........

That is very cool! I love a good silence project.

No, no masking. The serials are surprisingly stable and non reactive.

Here's a high res pic of a J serial XM arm restored which I thought I was going to lose the serial. This type of serial is not engraved and appears printed.
