Thread: Is this scale rot?

I got this razor because I kinda liked the scales and was hoping to clean them up a bit, but when I pulled them apart I think they may have some scale rot. The wedge is simple an extension of one of the scales. I don't doubt they haven't been messed with (taken apart an maybe glued?) before, as the wedge end was pinned with a nail that had the pointy end simply bent over. Maybe it's just glue residue?
Any suggestions or comments would be much appreciated.
(apologies for the quality of the pics, I'm still tinkering with the best way to photograph razors. )
