After the honey-do list during the day and taking her out to dinner, I got some time to do some sanding on the scales and got these two pinned up.
Both Full Hollow, 11/16, German, Vulcanized Rubber Scales and spike points. Both blades have some hone wear and pitting that I wasn't able to get out.
#1: The Hilmar Hand Forged had no scales, so I dug thru my Scales box and came up with 2 that were close as far as pin holes, but the shapes were different. So they were going to need reshaped and sanded down. Also one of the scales had faded to the ugly brown color. I dug up a white plastic wedge out of my box to go with it. After reshaping the scales and wedge to match I knew the pins would be close to the outer edge of the scales, but they are repurposed scales so you work with what you got.
#2 The A. Field & CO Model 2013 had some scales that had file marks where someone had been playing with the pinheads and missed. It came with a lead wedge.

The ugly mark along the edge of the blade in this pic is a reflection I hadn't noticed. It's not a stain on the blade...

There is a light etch on the blade face that says A.F. & CO. in script.
