Thread: The Rustiques

Here is my rustique. Before and after cleanup Its about a 6/8 Wade and Butcher I picked up For a song at an antique shop. I was told by a member here that the scales where most likely horn made to look like Tortes shell. I didn't know if old horn would delaminate like this is.
I like the patina on it (and BTW there is also some oil on the blade I forgot to wipe off for the pic.)
