Usually straight scales, made from horn, bone, ivory. some good example on this thread:

This is the only picture with the scales. I didn't took one of my own and i'm using the seller's photo, it's in pretty bad quality but it's something...

Both sides of the scales were well filled with lots of bug holes, needless to say that i've got rid of them very fast. You can probably notice some sort of a hand etched
script on the scales, I will say that it is one of the nicest hand-made etches i've seen on scales. Unfortunately I was unable to read it.
The washers look pretty authentic and old styled, big roundish double-caped washers.

Does this spell some light on its circa age?
