Thanked: 3Puma 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.

Thanked: 3Thanks 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.
