This is a casting of a capbox from an English sporting rifle. Sorry, it's the best picture I can get.
1. The engraving detail will be lost when I file and polish the piece. What is the best way to preserve it for later transfer and duplication?
2. Any ideas on what is in the center of the lid? I don't think the scrolls terminate into thin air. Suggestions? The gun is pre-Victorian.
