UNpinned
Well I got it apart. I want to finish the sanding with the scales off so I can do the tang and polish it all at once.
I did round out the chip in the toe and gave the edge some passes on the 250 section of my King combo. The bevel near the toe had some bad looking pits right in the edge and I wanted them out. They looked like they wanted to turn into cracks to me so some light strokes until they were gone made me feel better. I think normally you should go ahead and set a bevel to find good steel and make sure the razor is worth restoring. I trust it will clean up and all the major faults are gone now. If it doesn't shave it will be a very nice display :<0)
I file the pins flat before I center punch. And when I did get around to punching it the washer popped off. Wish they were all this easy.
Here are some unpin shots. I scribed a center that wasn't, punched it close after 2 tries, went to the drill press after which 1 washer popped of with the center punch again. The pin popped out some on the other side so I filed it off some while I had the chance. 1/16 punch tapped it out easy enough.
Hey ,,,There is that thing I was telling you about.......only now we can see it. It's not brass and what the heck is it doing there ?
Something else I noticed was these little holes in the inlays. Not pits but they look like maybe something to hold the inlays by when they installed them ? There are 3, and the arrows show 2 and the other is at the end of DDs line.
Well I got parts .
Next the brass comes off. I hope the piece on the inside is not connected somehow to the brass on the front or this could get messy.Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

Excellent progress, starting to all come together, I hope it all goes to plan, fingers crossed for no unseen issues.

I am still wrestling with the scale material choice. I might just go waaaay outer space with this but probably not.

Thanked: 1184 Inlays coming off
I skipped the polishing of the brass before I got started on this and that was a small mistake I will pay for later.
But here is me, taking the brass off the old scales.
Cleaning the brass is a long tedious chore so I will probably just take some pics of the process. Then there may be a break in the action until the scale material gets here. I haven't even ordered it yet but I will this week end.
