This Florida era Otto Link came to me in quite a 'rough' condition. It had been refaced before and the facing was not the same on both rails. The table leaked quite a bit. It had some nickel plating left.

I first replaced the biteplate with a material which I specially shaped to match the rounded beak profile, before filing it to fit the pocket exactly.

This mouthpiece was scratched deeply and had many pit marks from corrosion. I next removed all of the plating and removed 'most' of the pit marks.

The mouthpiece was then refaced after I reconstructed the table profile. I preserved the original tip opening and facing length as requested, but improved the overall curve. I left the chamber with an attractive matt finish after removing the worst scratches and marks.

Almost ready for 24K gold plating...

After hours of the highest concentration, the spectacular final result!
