So, the mysterious Worlds Fair Razor I recently got had some repainted scales--the seller said it was to hide some stained plastic scales. I didn't really care, as I had bought the lot for the Genco, and this was just a bonus. I figured I'd try to get it cleaned up, at least, though, so I was trying to get the serious pitting taken care of. I was unpinning it, trying to pucnh out the hinge pin, when there was a little "SNAP" and the back scale cracked in two. I sighed, but wasn't too worried--like I said, this was a labour of fun.
Then I looked at the broken piece. It was most definitely NOT plastic. I started polishing off the crappy brown paint, and what do I find? BEAUTIFUL patinaed bone scales (I THINK they're bone, not Ivory--they have small pits rather than long lines...is that right?).
Is there any way to fix these? I mean, I lost it before I knew I had it, but if I could get that lovely scale back to useability I'd be very happy...
Pix will follow.
