Marsh Brothers smiling wedge

My first full restoration. Ivory scales were broken at the wedge end so I epoxied them to metal liners for support. Blade had deep pitting around the pivot and a few other spots.
I hand made the pin washers from 3/32 inside diameter brass tubing hammered flat.

Brilliant idea, absolutely brilliant! And how well it worked, both physically and visually. Bravo!

I love that you were able to save the scales, and that the restoration turned out so well!!

Congratulations!
