    Default Anybody knows...

    If a similar patterned scales also exists for 6/8 devils? The plain black scales of my 6/8 are so boring...

    not to my knowledge,... BUT, seem to me it might be worth trying a 3D scan, modify it to your needs and 3D print them, you will have to do touch ups by hand but still a lot less work than eg carving them?

    Those are some pretty fancy scales. I have never seen them before but somebody may come along that has some. I do believe they would be very expensive though. There are guys that collect just scales and they could care less about steel or shaving. I have also noticed these guys have deep pockets. (lots of $$$$$) The 3d printer is 1 good idea and I would also suggest casting acrylic if you want to try it yourself.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    Definitely unusual scales there. I wonder if it may have been rescaled?
    All the Red Devils I have seen were in slick black bakelite. Some have the devil logo as well.

    My 6/8 have only plain baquelite scales, without any logo. Although, I have seen some 5/8s with the same scales as mine, so I believe they are original.

    Well, I suppose keep an eye out! I will keep it in mind if I see some.
