I returned the Oily Creek Bone I received, deciding it was painfully proud where the shield was inset. Just a little spot right at my thumb that I'd never get used to.
Perhaps folks here file or grind down their own covers where there are issues? I didn't want want to risk scratching the etched shield with some ham handed attempt to adjust this particular sample, so I ate the postage and let some other collector take a shot at it.
I've got a stag on reserve; I think I'll be much more forgiving of any sharp antler ridges that might be there.
Ding ding ding! Six years registered and this is finally my thirtieth post!
