Yes, there are much quicker and easier ways of doing it, but the end result is eally nice. Well done.

Very nice job! I would never have attempted restoration of a blade so heavily rusted as yours, and you achieved amazing results removing the rust. The edge looks good, which often is not the case due to the "swiss cheese" effect of rust on very thin metal. Congratulations. For a source of pins I can recommend an eBay seller who provides nice pins, a gapper tool as a cutting guide, and instructions with each order. rose789pipo . I have no finanancial relationship with this seller. Or you can make your own.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I really liked the idea for countersinking the pin holes. I was actually thinking of replacing the pins with a torx screw. ( I use mostly with knives )
The scales are very close in size to one another. I put a caliper on them to measure and both came out to just a touch over 1/8" One of them is probably about 1/64" thicker. So I'm guessing the colors are making one look larger than the other.
