Thanks Rene! I used an 18k Gold leafing pen. I put it on, let it dry, and then slowly sanded it off with the 12000 micro mesh. What is left is down in the etching and thus far has survived honing and some metal polish.

excellent job, did you try to recondition the scales or just move right to acrylic?

WoW!!! It is obvious your skills have increased exponentially to the time since each restore. That is amazing you can do that level of restoration in just one year. WoW!!

The old scales were celluloid and were broken. I could have tried to repair the celluloid, however, vintage celluloid can rot over time and cause issues with the steel and I was not willing to go through the work with that risk out there. I initially went with wood because I didn't even know where to get anything else. Having found suppliers of G10, acrylic, etc gives many new options. I really like the grain in the G10 and it allows for some creativity. Originally Posted by cjglancy
