It would probably look a lot better with new scales and with the metal all shined up. You can tell by the hone wear on the front of the spine and the toe of the blade that this razor has seen a lot of service. I think I would hone the blade first and see how well it shaves. Then if you are happy with that, make a new set of scales. But, it doesn't seem worth the effort if you are not satisfied with the shave you get. I have several of these razors and have been satisfied with them.
