Thanks for the suggestions. A couple of you asked for better pics, so I took a couple today of the actual stem and signature. Seems like the trick is reproducing the "signature" acurrately. then it's a matter of re-anodizing the stem. after looking a bit closer, the stem seems to be losing its skin in the first photo!
