Tried to save the etching by doing a light hand polish It is still visible but shows much better on camera than IRL.

The scales were made for a piece if brown and white swirl acrylic I had in a draw. don't remember where or why I even had it but it was nice to put it to use. I reused the original wedge I'm happy with the out come and can't wait to get it honed and have a shave with it.
