    I wet sanded the scales with 1000 paper grit and I found the black after a few minutes....

    Now I'm getting hard time to sand around the C&S logo without making it disappear...maybe I will left some oxide around the logo but not sure of that....

    Thanks for the tip Glen

    Perhaps a little Comet / Ajax type cleanser on a toothbrush or Scotchbrite pad will be aggressive enough to take off the oxidation and flexible enough to get inside that logo....

    Best idea I could think of Victor.... I have used it to clean the inside of scales that were to be left on a razor...

    3M makes these little fiberglass detailed sanding pencils seem to work really well for me when i need to sand detailed designs in many things haven't ever had to use it on a plastic but it seems to be quite a fine abrasive. I got mine in the automotive paint section of a local Meijer, but can most likely find one online or at a hardware store as well. Just be careful the fiberglass hurts like hell if you touch it, you'll easily get a thin strand in your finger.

    I don't really know what to suggest, but I can tell you that I'm 99% sure your scales are either vulcanite (aka ebonite) as a previous poster mentioned, or gutta percha.
    I have a crown & sword razor with scales that look identical to yours (including the 'dusty' brown discolouration) and my scales are definitely vulcanite/ebonite/gutta percha.
    These are all forms of hardened rubber, so maybe a bit of research about rubber could point you in the right direction.
