Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 05/16/2018 9:59 pm Humorous, yes, realistic, yes also. As long as the mark has not affected the other parts of the design it is considered OK. Error punches or slipped nicking was usually repaired by milling down/polishing the affected areas if at all possible, otherwise would be abandoned and not used. Remember too, clothing and other accoutrements may hang a bit low when filled with the S's Edited by Crazyb0 05/16/2018 10:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff
