Thanks for the picture! If you would have posted this at the start, it would have 'Made Your Case' about using the scales from a 'Donor' blade.

Now I will approve of using the scales for the other razor!

With that said, even though the pins etc 'May' line up it may not work! Only someone with a lot of experience with straights will be able to tell you if it will work!

I recently received several razor from a friend for clean up and honing and one had broken scales at the pivot and another that was of a configuration that the owner didn't want had very nice scales.

I sent the two razors to Glen (GSSIXGUN) and asked him to replace the good scales on the razor that had the broken scales. The pins lined up and I saw no problem. I was WRONG!

Thanks to Glen's vast knowledge of razors he knew that for some reason it wouldn't work!

He had a pair of nice slightly used scales and used those.

I think that what I'm saying is that things aren't always as simple as they look!
