Devilock:
Is it possible to have these done but with fresh lettering on the ends without using decals...?

Mattdub:

Some have attempted very fine brush/paint application  ;)

I really dont fancy attempting that! It would end up looking like some school project!

NORTY40:
Done it a few times , if the stamping is still quite deep/well defined it ain't hard and looks a lot better than the decals  ;)

but like Matt says it does involve a paintbrush and inlaying with paint  :D

Luckily after a good rub up these were good enough to be re annodised and as you say Joff the letterng was engraved in deeply enough.
I used a white touch up brush from halfords and when the paint was still tacky went round the lettering with white spirit on a cotton bud.

and here is a great thread on the museum.
