Thread: ERN Primus E. Pluribus Unum etching.

Hello Friends,

I got this ERN Crown and Sword 3160 EPrimus a few days ago and have been polishing it for days with Maas. I've managed to get most of the crud off with the exception of the few dreaded black pits (hopefully you can see them in the photo). It has the "E. Pluribus Unum Primus" etching on it and my question is, how well will an etching hold up to polishing? If I take it to a buffer with compound do you think the etching will survive or should I keep hand polishing it until the rag isn't black anymore? Thanks for any input!! Love the site!
