 :shocked:  Jeeez you must of been at it all fookin week  :LolLolLolLol:  I would have hit them with 180 or 240's at least to begin with to get shut of them scrapes/gouges  :D

Get yourself a bench polisher and a polishing kit , it's so much easier , you would have had them done in a few hours  ;)

Hardest thing when using a bench polisher is not to get carried away and start distorting the lettering/stamps. But it would have been a god send to do the rest .  You have done a great job in retaining all the lettering  :daumenhoch:

Glynnyboy:
Very very nice Mark. I look forward to seeing these mounted. :coolsmiley:
