Throw some scales on it and hone 'er up! Any metal that old is going to have issues, the amount of metal removal required as well as time is typically not worth it. Just adds character!
The mint speaks the truth. You are done. It won't be what it is if you try to 'perfect' it. Stamps and corners cannot take much more.
At a point, soft things such as buffers and compounds, tend to dig-out and amplify imperfections.
Done!;)

Plus, the better the polish, the easier fingerprints are to see and the harder to keep 'im off! :) You've done well!
It takes a lot of blades to really master buffing. My personal method is to use the buffer near the end, if at all. As Sharptonn said, stamps and corners are easy to loose. I tend to be a hand sander for the most part. If I am using the buffer it is only to take out a few sanding marks here and there, or for a quick polish job. Perhaps as time passes and I get better with the machine I will sand less. I try to keep the harm minimal, and corners and lines sharp. The secret is less is more. As the mint said, get some scales and start honing!
Love the French point. Yep, it is Done for polish work.:)
I have to admit I'm a real sucker for French Point as well. [emoji2]Quote:

dinnermint sure got that right the finer the polish the more you work to keep it shiny
