Brehs...
I just won an auction on ebay for some antique silverware, was surprised to see i was the only bidder!
Then i looked closely and it hit me. The spoons and forks are monogrammed with the word "Négrier", which mean "niggers' trader" in french. Woospie :3
Kinda based but kinda not very optimal for resale purposes if i need to. Since the monogram is almost gone on one of the forks, i was wondering how deep i'd have to go to sand it down?

Is it also possible to let say pour in some molten silver, hoping it fill in the engraving, then sand down a bit to have an homogeneous result? My guess is it may still be visible because of a different shade/coloring between the OG silver and the added one, but idk really.

Otherwise i'm happy with the purchase, the hallmarks are from 1740 and from the town my great-grampa, grampa, my dad and i were born in (and maybe many gramps before that).
Maybe my ancestor even touched those during a dinner? Though it's unlikely as i come from a family of peasants (like 90% of the population back a century+ ago).
