Hi Aaron1234, Being my first try I didn't attempt to inlay the badge. I just drilled out some half holes to fit the back tabs and glued it in.

If you soak in Neat’s-foot oil, submerge in a Ziploc bag for a couple days, before you unpin it will revive them and make less brittle.
Un-pin with a pin vice or Dremel with a tiny carbide ball bit. A drill press is hard to do but can be done using a center drill countersink, not a drill bit at least to get a good starter hole and go slow. If you take your time you can save the scales and original collars.
Nice scales.
Good ideas Euclid. I've never tried bamboo, and never a plastic bottle as a shield.
I don't have a router, so my drill press with a router bit is a great idea. I read about it somewhere but it slipped my mind since and there's always inlay work to be done.
Thanks for the ideas and reminder!
