I have a Comoy's bulldog from the late 40's - mid 50's that has part of the bead line worn off, it's about 3/8 of an inch long. I can still see where the bottom line was, barely the top line is gone completely. I was thinking about using a piece of tape for a strait edge and going over it with a sharp chisel. Has anybody done this? How did it turn out? Should I just leave it alone?
This has been my first attempt at restoring an estate and I have already made a couple of mistakes, I lost the C on the stem, and when I re-waxed it I managed to get some wax in the chamber, didn't taste too good when I fired it up the first time!
