Removing and repinning Ivory.

Has anyone done this? I am pretty scared to, just because the whole idea of an untouched ivory scaled razor with the original pins sounds so appealing. The rust at the pivot point however in my mind has to GO! I'm not sure if the ivory will pose any additional problems to repin. Is it fragile like that? I really want to clean this up well, but does re-sale go down for a re-pinned ivory scaled razor? Not that the re-sale value is important- I doubt I'd ever sell this one. Just wondering what others do in this situation.
