Here is a pair I fixed with the method described. Not fantastic, but works very well. Both were missing chunks of scale where the pivot hole should have been.

PM me your address and I can send you a piece of scrap if you want to try the repair yourself.

This procedure will result in a scale of the original length. But if you don't have any old broken ivory scales on hand as a source for the material to replace the broken part, that can be a problem.

I have not posted yet on it but have been working on some repairs of completely busted ivory scales. I recommend that and a healthy dose of the kintsugi philosophy....
