While on the look out for a way to get the engraving on one of my horns “freshened up” I came across these two videos by Sherry Huntley, retired.

Re: Engravings
Thanks for posting that !
Sherry is "good people".
Introspectively (other than REALLY old art (vs. craft) engraving of actually "scenes"...), I believe I'm most "excited" by never-refinished standard engraving patterns on known-to-be-superb models of brass instruments and saxophones.

Luckily (though the place that apparently "overhauled" the little Holton - decades ago - did a horrific job - as: anyone who removes a bottom bow cap and tosses it in the trash - by definition - does a "horrific" job) they didn't "buff the crap out of it", but - clumsily - they did go across the engraving.
