Thanked: 13245"Restoration" at the pin is problematic, and really unless the scales are Matched to the razor not really worth the trouble
I would just replace them
To fix that is Possible, I don't want to mislead you, but those are simple Yellow Celluloid scales it is easier and better to replace them"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

I'm with Glen.
Replacing the scales is in order.

Yep, trash those scales after you have made replacement scales
A linen micarta would be niceIf you don't care where you are, you are not lost.

I agree with the group. Pop them off and copy the shape. Then make new.
It's just Sharpening, right?
