To rescale, or not to rescale...
That is the question...
I've got a Krusius Bros. KB Extra #67 that looks as thjough it was re-pinned at the pivot at some point in time (at least).
The scales in both sides at the pivot look as though they were ground a bit, possibly to de-pin? The scale ends at the piovot end have also been reshaped, possibly because of a break?
So. I reshaped the heel end of the scales, and made both ends match somewhat..
It doesn't look bad as is, but it's no longer original... and there are those small gouges by the pivot pin.
Originally, I thought this was a candidate for new scales.. Something a bit fancier, but I'm torn.
I understand both sides of the arguement... Try to keep these old shavers as near original as possible... Or, do whatever pleases me, and give it new life in new clothes...
I'm up in the air about it, and open to suggestions...
What would you do??
