    Default Puma Scale Required

    I have been given a Puma Friseur Freund #1 but unfortunately the rear scale is broken and had been repaired with a big gob of apoxy. Obviously this did not work well! The razor is in otherwise great condition and it deserves to be restored.
    I have unpinned it and got rid if the glue, but before I attempt a repair I thought I would ask if anyone on the site has a rear Puma scale that they would be willing to part with?
    Thanks in anticipation

    I you don't find a replacement, another option would be to lift the inlay and transfer it to a new custom set of scales, gssixgun has a video were he demonstrates how to lift an inlay by dissolving the celluloid in acetone.

    Looks like the inlay side is fine

    Thanks for the suggestion Baxxter. My first choice would be to find a replacement scale. My second choice would be to attempt a scale repair and I am thinking of an apoxy repair and then grinding out a recess on the inside of the scale and then to embed a small washer around the pivot pin hole using more apoxy. then possibly a thin fiberglass liner in the inside surface. If I'm not happy with this I will make new scales and transfer the inlay as shown in the vid.
