Thread: New blade

OK so we decided to go to the local antique mall today and take a look and see if they had anything. The did, a number of names that I recognized, some I didn't. when I saw this in a case.



So I got the woman to open it up hoping that was actually what was in it because it was priced at $30
but got it open and found this.




So I bought it. It needs some work and I'd like to get new scales for it. but I would like some opinions on this please. did I get a decent deal? over all condition?
