Picked this guy up cheap from ebay, wanted to try cleaning it up without killing the etching/plating. Clearly not a spotless finish since I was afraid I'd kill the plating. The scales were very warped and the blade wouldn't fit into the scales without pivoting the (loose) wedge. I was able to straighten the scales out, but the blade still doesn't center just right. Nothing amazing here, but figured I'd share this evening's project.
