What am I getting into?

[myslin]

I've been using a straight for a month and a half. Finally gave my mom my fusion a month ago. Yet my starter razor is not the prettiest but it shaves really well; which is why I'd like to completely clean it off and rescale it all myself. Have it as reminder of when I started straight shaving or give it to a friend. The Blade is a 5/8 Shefield Square Point I believe, but you tell me if I'm wrong. From what I know its really old (1930s). It was cleaned with all kinds of chemicals prior to use and honed well but there are these really old black spots that will not come off with whatever I use.
I've tried detergent, CLR, bleach mixed with water. What do you suggest I use to get them off?

I'd also like to rescale it. I'd like to make the scales myself, I have some woodworking experience and I'm just wondering how hard it'll be and what should I look out for while making the new scales?

Here are some pictures of the razor. Sorry, they were taken on an iPhone (can't find the digital camera).
