Removing dents from a bayonet scabbard

[Dick Hosmer]

I recently acquired a nice 1894-dated bayonet, with an original M1892 "keystone" scabbard, to go with my unaltered rifle #2546. The scabbard has a couple of dents - - that is how I could afford the set! :-) In browsing through Mallory/2nd, I noticed the "dent remover". Has anyone had any experience in doing this work? I'm wondering how much force can be applied before one breaks the brazing, or deforms something? All ideas welcome! Thanks.
