Nicely done. Did you silver solder the area to fill in the voids after you pounded out the dent?

Best,

Thx. Only on one occasion i had to use solder to form an edge. On the rest of repairs the brass proves enough maleable to re-form shapes with sufficient detail and precision. all of these cameras are to be painted afterwrds.
