nicks on the blade: how to remove them?

a self-back up of the message that I posted yesterday

I would be interested to know if there is a way to fix the following nicks on the blade








The pictures come from an Australian Buck that I bought almost two years ago. The bayonet was still in its original packaging.









As you can probably imagine, I payed a lot of money due of the bayonet being in "mint" condition. When I received the package, there was a hole in the plastic bag. Someone used, for sure, the wire cutter, as you can see from both the nicks on the blade and the wear on the scabbard plate.
Just a side note: when I contacted the seller, showing him the pictures, he told me that the plastic bag was still sealed when the bayonet was shipped and that it was "probably opened by the customs"...as I don't see why the customs should try to use the wire cutter, I don't believe at all to this story.
Anyway, would you suggest me to try to fix the nicks (and, if so, how?) or just should I leave the bayonet as it is?
