Maj EA, how deep were those de-file marks? I'd be worrying about removing too much metal, since the '94 is rear locking. Also, will you send it for re-bluing? I wonder if it's from the era when they usually turn plum colored when re-blued because of the alloy used.
Went and looked at a lot of ruins here at Mesa Verde yesterday, some of the cliff dwellings are pretty amazing. Did some hiking on a pretty rough trail, no problems there, but then took a spill when I stepped on the edge of some uneven pavement. Just kind of relaxing today, probably leaving here in the morning and start working our way back home.
