Mysterious Scales
Anybody have an idea who made these scales?
Can't remember where I got them.
Trying to decide what to do with them.
Their a little heavy. Figured if I used them I'd shave them down to decrease weight, maybe do some kind of metal etching art.

Hmmm...don't know. But they'd look good next to mine.

Thanked: 4830Most likely they are aluminum. It’s a nice looking group. I would just polish and pick heavier blades. Or trade them with your friend for some horn and bone scale material.

If they are heavy, they could be German silver, but I think aluminum. Should not be too heavy?

Give me a sec. I'll weigh them. Cooking brunch at moment.
EDIT: Okay got it, 21grams. Actually they don't feel that heavy. Definitely nice scales.
If you promise to make a 6 day set for show and tell, you can have them Mike.Last edited by MikeT; 09-15-2018 at 06:13 PM.

Send um to Rez, he's probably got some blades for um.
I've got enough aluminum scaled razors.
He's got the better deal, anyhoo.Last edited by outback; 09-15-2018 at 06:55 PM.
