Rescaled with mismatched scales
I bought a couple of razors on the big auction site. When they arrived, a pretty vintage Utica had a nasty cracked blade that ruined it. The scales were too nice to trash, so I used them for an old Imperial blade I had laying around and honed it. It's my first re-pin, and that went well. The razor is really nice now, but doesn't match. What do you think?

Not sure I get the question here. The scales look perfectly matched to me, I am unable to detect any mismatches?
Well, apart from the logo being on the front side and not on the back, but that is how logos are, 99% of the time.
Anyways, razor looks good to me. Nice job on the repinning

If the scales fit , use 'em . If you were to sell the razor , you should state that the scales are from a different blade , and I don't think most people would have a problem with that .

Looks good. +1 to what Dave said, it's always good to disclose things like that if you selling.
