The Wade & Butcher Celebrated was an amazing antique store find. I've never seen one with these type of scales before. Although it appears in the picture to be made of leather with a threaded border it actually is made of horn with a metallic inlay border. The circle design around the butt pin is half etched in the metal end-cap and half inlayed in the horn. Really unusual. In the middle of the scales is a small scale-shaped mother of pearl inlay. Needless to say its a favorite!
Here's a close-up:
