Ok, ok, now I'm done.

I've got a few blades laying around, will see if any fit the profile. Will keep the original with it for reference. Saw a better example online for $700.00...

Recommendation as to who to send it to for repair? I am not mechanically inclined to using sharp power tools on small items.

If you are taking the scales off be very careful I broke a nice set of scales today getting them off a rubbish razor

To my recollection, those lobster scales are sought after by some. They must be more rare than many of the other plastic relief scales that are in abundance, the peac.o.c.k, windmill scenes, nudes, stag, bamboo, corn cob to name a few relief scales that I've owned.

You are surprisingly close! The owner's name was lester and he died. No Les, no more.

You are a crazy bastard!

Bin the scales before the lobster starts to nibble at your other blades!

WAIT!!! Do NOT remove that blade from those scales. That is one of the most sought after sets of scales that collectors (mostly not people on this site) look for! I would guess that those scales are worth more with that beat up original blade pinned in them than if you took the blade out. I would honestly put them on eBay with a reserve of however much you'd let them go for. If they don't sell on eBay, email Bill Ellis or PM him over at B&B- he was after a set of those scales last I heard.

I would look for a blade with a battleship etching and surgicully implant it in those scales.Maybe even a Wester Bros. Anchor brand razor would fit snugly,iy has an anchor symbol on the tang.Just a thought.Olivia had a good idea,make a plaster cast and make solid silver scales

Thats a hot pour, LOL

There's been someone nice working with a CNC machine
who offered to copy scales like this
and I cannot find the thread right now.
Does anybody know?

Whatever you do with those scales, cast a mold first.
