Thread: Puma 85 Original Scales?

I have a vintage Puma 85 I picked up off of ebay that is one of my favorite shavers. I took my time restoring the blade, and am very happy with the resutls. The only visible flaw is that during the polishing in the vibrating polisher, a notch (kinda looks like a barber's notch) developed on the end.

Anyway, I'm wondering if the scales it has on it are the originals. Can someone with a Puma 85 with original scales post a picture of what they look like? I'll post a pic of mine later today after I've shortened the Honey Do list a bit.

No one around here has a Puma 85? Yer kiddin' me!

I may be wrong but I think that all Pumas have the logo embedded on the scales. If your Puma has that then they are probably the original scales.

Darnit, that's what I was afraid of. Mine does not have the Puma logo on the scales. The scales look pretty cool, but no logo. I can't find my darn camera... maybe the ebay picture is still around...

Edit: Here's the picture from the ebay listing. Needless to say, both the blade and scales look much better now that I've worked on em. At least, *I* like to think so.

That is definitely a rescale job.
