Just bought some imported frames, although legit one in particular has been re-stamped badly, can anyone point me in the right direction to purchase a set

Just look on Ebay or tool shops etc for number/letter stamps of the correct height.
You won't find any that match the Kawasaki font.
I know because i've searched for years but as long as it's a neat job it doesn't really matter.

i had some made up in the correct font's at a place in the jewelry quarter in birmingham in the 70s they made stamps for the royal mint but they was expensive at the time but we had a break in at work & was stolen with loads of other tools

I once saw an engine that the numbers had been done by an engraver and thats the closest ive ever seen to the real thing.....
all the best everyone

Thanks for the info guys, got loads of taps of the correct size 1/4",6mm I think, yes it's the font that's the problem, but I could do a much better job than is on it at present, for sure.
