Mother of Pearl pinning, polishing?

Gents,

Working on two restore projects for myself. One is a Joseph Allen with MOP and the other is a Henckels with MOP.
Ive unpinned them (MUCH trickier than ivory in my opinion), polished the metal liners, and re-glued the pivot side liner to MOP with some 330 epoxy.

Now its time to pin em' back. The exit holes on the MOP sid measure about 5/64" and the hole in the liner is 1/16". Any tips on how how to go about this besides- "carefully"?:001_tongu

Whats the best way to polish these bad boys up and keep them in good shape?:huh:

MUCH appreciated!!!

Where there washers on the things? What is your question exactly. Do you need to know how to peen? Or how to peen MOP specifically?

I will also move this to the straight restoration forums as your question is quite specific to that forum :).

Welcome to B&B btw....and we need pics!
