#5 &
#6 (DS) do look a bit disturbing as if there has been some movement in the fork blade.
As [MENTION=391445]malcala622[/MENTION] mentioned, perhaps you could feel if the fork blade feels loose, or check the fork alignment (quality C&V bike shop?)
I'd probably start looking for a new fork. However, you might have the thread moved to the Framebuilders subforum for suggestions. It might be able to be re-brazed, but you'd have to get the joint very clean, and assuming that is chrome and not paint, a lot of people won't want to work with chrome although technically one should be able to do the work without destroying the chrome (lots of good flux).
There is no movement with the blade, and it is not chrome, so at least there is that.
Good point about moving this forum to Frame Builders, though.
Moderators, may I ask that this thread be moved to the Frame Builders forum?
