Thank you for a quick reply. I want to keep all of the scales as they were my great-grandfathers. There actually is some scale damage on the Davide Collini razor, which is the second one from the bottom. It looks like somebody (maby even great grandad) tried to tighten the blade pin and did some filing on the area between the pin and the very end. I will probably do this one last and pull that pin to repair the scales.

That's pretty funny. I am not a newbie with tools, sanding and buffing, here are some of my pipes I make. But I'm not stupid either. I will take this into serious consideration. I don't know Glen or Max. How did I get in touch with them? BTW - I was always going to have Lynn do my honing.

Do not re-pin if there is no reason to do so. If the scales are loose you could first try to tighten them with a small ballhead hammer.
When i take old pins out i use very small file to flatten the other end of the pin. If you have any small-rpm grinder you can use it too, but you need some base to keep the scales steady.
Lastly i just push the pin out with a mandrel or nail. In this point the scale breaks, if ever.
Nice pipes, by the way!'That is what i do. I drink and i know things'

Not sure if this was mentioned, but another good reason to re-pin is if you can't tighten loose scales because the pivot pin is bent.
