This work intends to address the issue of surface damage to significant characters on ferromagnetic materials for the assessment of physical evidence. For the identification of altered metallic characteristics, a nondestructive magneto-optical imaging recovery approach based on the magneto-optical effect is presented. The results of the experiments demonstrate that the technique may successfully repair the damaged metallic features. It can be used as a nondestructive test for the examination and restoration of altered and damaged metal handwriting in criminal technology, which offers a fresh approach and method to deal with this issue.
