LOL was wondering just after I posted if yours is the one in the pic.
Fussy is not a bad thing but can become a costly thing

Can be very costly, I think I may just go ahead with the re-anodising. Either that or I will have it all cleaned up in bare silver and make the writing black.
It is a very nice plain'ish look already so I probably shouldn't mess with it but how bad can it possibly turn out?
