Thanks guys. They were made from the not good for carving bone, so at this point it is mostly a loss of time.

Oh OK good I'm assuming that bone was very brittle?
Very nice looking scales there. Sorry to hear about the one that didn't make it
Hey Rez, maybe you know.
Who is son, who is father.
I have a #14, Eugenio Hoppe.

This ones dated early 1920s
The scales can always be used for shorties.
Eugeno was Guillermo's dad as I understand.
Oh not these ones. They are done, one side cracked length ways from the pin in both direction, then I snapped the other side retrieving the wedge, as luck would have it that is the side I glued.
As to the relationship between the Hoppe's I think we have to wait for Martin. All I know is it took me forever to find one and actually win the auction.

Tom type faster. Apparently he knew the winning answer.
