With a Dremel, anything will do. That material is not the hardest. I prefer the flat end-mill style engraving cutters; just slowly sweeping back and forth. A ball end cutter will work too. Of course the trick is to stop early and block sand for the final finish.
With the firing pin, it's best to remove it. File it down carefully and add the subtle dome shape and the slot, and reinstall.

you can also use a small chisel and lay it flat and tap and the logo will peel off ,
then there is just some filing, wrap a piece of sandpaper around the end of a needle file and move to a clean part of the sandpaper often

You can try to clean it real well, add some flux to the dimple, then add a couple drops of solder. Dave uses low temp melt pewter (300F) so you cant solder it the "right" way by heating the work (the pewter). You're definitely going to get a cold joint and need to use a solder that melts under 300 F. You could also fill it with something like epoxie sculpt and paint over it. Or you could try and attach a small ball of solder/ tin with epoxy then sand/ file it.
Hmmmm.... I already have poor soldering skills. I probably will have to go with the route of "fill and paint".... Appreciate your suggestions.
On those knobs some guys take a small needle file and go in the knurl pattern to make it more defined

the large rounded side of the knob has to be filed/sanded to blend in, there should be enough to take off

I am almost finished with my build. I will post some pictures when I am done. It is truly a great piece! I am wondering if anyone knows of someone who builds a nice stand for the DL-44? I don't want it encased in glass, just looking for a display stand to go inside a glass cabinet. Thanks
