<p>Thanks for that thought. Much less shaky these days and well on the way to recovery - not a moment too soon. We lost our house in all the nonsense, but are now sorted. Bizarrely, none of the guitars had a scratch on it. Go figure, but I do like the priorities!</p>
<p>No, we don't have those stores but I did manage to find a set locally. 5mm or 3/16th in your speak. Very close to original typeface which I'm guessing is something like Franklin Gothic Light.</p>

<p>I've tried it out of bits of rubbish and so long as you don't hit the punch too hard and you work out how to do a three the right way round, I think they will do the job.</p>
<p>"Made in USA is a smaller typeface @ 4mm.</p>
<p>Thanks for the thought that put me on the right track</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for helping.</p>

<p>I just looked at your profile and don't think you'll find a Lowe's/Home Depot in NZ. Price of living in Paradise I guess...;') Stay safe in Shakeytown!</p>

<p>Have you looked at simple letter and number punches? Amazon has about 25 different sets with different sizes and fonts. Harbor Freight and Lowe's/Home Depot have basic sets also. Measure the height of the serial number/letters and print out a photo and compare the fonts on the screen or at the store. </p>

<p>A supplier that's NOT the least expensive, but has nearly everything under the sun. Also search for gunsmithing supplies and woodworking suppliers. These sets are very common.</p>
<p>Best fo luck with your project :)</p>
