Clapper/Zapper-

My problem isn't with adding metal, it's adding it in a way that achieves a square fit with the hook. Welding up a pin so that it's as round as a new one sounds like a lot of work.

Is it?

Why not replace the original pin with one made out of a better grade of metal? Wouldn't that be easier, and better, overall?

The engraving issue is case by case. Most Holland-style sidelocks have endcaps covering the hinge pins. Replacing the pin does not affect the covers at all.

On a Boss or Purdey, the engraving on the pin is usually pretty minimal and easy to replace.
