Scored a J. Rodgers locally! Tortoise scales!
About 5/8, quarter hollow, french point, with no visible spine wear, top and bottom jimps. Top jimps only at the sides, not on the spine. Some careless scratch marks. "For their majesties" period.
Some shallow pitting, but still in great shape.
Turtle shell scales cracked on some places, but nothing impossible to weld together.

Scales are now at ICU, healing. A good boiling bath for 2 minutes to seamless bonding of pieces together with stabilization with 0.3mm plexiglass sheet on the insides (hint: cheap cellphone screen protection) bonded by slow-curing flex-coat resin for fishing rods.
All experimental, of course.
Boiled fingers hurt...
Look what i found!
