The replica of the Vince Lombardi Trophy lived through the operation.
Here's a photo:
The piece turned out to be a plated resin item, which had a copper plating below the chrome plating, which helped me gauge the depth of cut, by seeing the change in color, from copper to the tan-colored resin.
The chrome plating on the "A" of Lombardi popped off, but that could have happened with any of the letters containing "islands."
A dab of silver paint will probably remedy that situation. The customer wants to do their own color-filling of the letters, which is fine by me.
Close enough for studio work. :-)
