Sako Deluxe Bluing Duplication

It will depend on the condition now and how much prep is required... but there will be someone out there who hot blues and knows how to polish. 50 years ago a batch of Sako's were imported into Canada from a European exporter and they had a logo of a North American Importer embossed under the barrel just ahead of the forend... this had to be removed and then hot blued. Afterwards you couldn't tell this had been done...
 
There are a few marks near the end of the barrel, and that's about it. The rest of it is good. Just looking to get it cleaned up.
Thanks!

Contact Danny Busse, he is the owner of Blue Chip Precision (1-780-977-2536). He knows of two business that conduct hot bluing. One other person is Gary Valla in Calgary, Rocky Mountain Gunworks Ltd. (1-403-256-5675). I've seen his work and results are a deep luster hot bluing.....great work he does!
 
I haven't seen Gary in years... he worked with me way back in the 70's at Barotto Sports. I believe he bought Sam Elliotts bluing set up when Sam quit smithing...
