Gibson serial number re-fin HELP!!!!!

[locoed]

I'm having a 1984 Explorer re-finished from one of the guys at Heritage guitars. But when he removed the paint the serial numbers were wiped off,they weren't very deep to begin with,and he said I would have to get them done from Gibson and they need it for a few months and we all know what that's like.
Does anybody know another way to stamp those in? Or the size of the die font they use?
I'm a machinist and can do it but I don't want to go over or under the factory size.

Speak to Roger Ball at Gibson HQ, he may be able to assist...
