    Yes, great job on the restore, Oz!

    Hey Pyment, can you tell if originally, the gold plating was also along the entire length of the back (top) of the spine and on the tip of the razor's blade when viewed head on?

    Thanks.

    I have to be honest here that's not my Bug. I should probably post a pic of my (poor by comparison) GB. When I get home I will check mine but I definitely have the impression that the gold was originally along the whole spine.

    Thanx guys. Nice to get feedback from people who don't think we're crazy doing this stuff or maybe we're just in denial

    Onimaru you have done a nice job, I say the gold in the etching is great. It should not be dissipating anytime soon. Enjoy
