I am interested in the scales. They may be attractive.

They do look interesting. Are they horn, or just dirty.
I'd never seen a Paki dressed in horn

That's funny Mike. I just sold a Torrey exactly like that on the bay and I've got a Boker in the queue with those exact same scales with the backside one (without the tree) broken in the same exact spot. The blade is a little different and no covered tang though...copycat.

I would toss the scales in the chime-box too, Dave. 'Pakicelluloid' is not good!

If you don't have one, I can match you up a backside scale, or close.

I might take you up on that Tom. Unless there's one in a recent lot I picked up (I haven't checked those yet) I don't have a match for it. I have one that matches the other side but don't need that one

If you don't, post a picture of the front side you have and center-to-center pinhole spacing and total width in MM's.
If it is like the few sets of those Bokers I have, I will look. If one which has the hole spacing right, can be made to work.

I'll check that when I get home. Thanks Tom!

Not horn. Some kind of plastic but not kirinite.

Throw it all in the trash, then

Will do.
Could be cell rot on the blade
