Etchings and maker marks. Do you in fill or re etch anything.

[CyberShdw]

As I begin to sift through the huge library on restoring blades I often see the same comments.

"I stopped grinding to save the makers mark" Or " the etching couldn't be saved"

A lot of the photos show bare metal (no in filling) and shadows of those original etch marks.

Has anyone researched re etching the blade with the original mark after the restoration?

I saw very few razors in filled on the stamped sections. Is this a artistic choice?

I guess what I am really asking have anyone successfully infilled the stampings and or re etched the blade with the original stamp?
