as opposed to wood ot plastic scales think horn... lovely buffalo horn.... maybe a nice set of blond horn scales ... but i digress... 5/8 or 6/8 sheffield steel, 1/4, hollow horn... WB or rodger, elliot or reynolds

that should fit the bill nicely, as forthe strop... well they really have not changed all that much over the years... get one of Tony's 2.5" black latigo the a natural linen back and you will be right as rain.
