Is this puma fixable?
I won it on ebay for $10 bucks...If it can't be fixed it won't be that big of a deal...If it can be fixed...I figured you guys would know how/who to fix it.

Well, at least I got a nice coffin out of it. You win some you lose some.

you could try to polish it(using a vibration tumbler) and make it 4/8.... But the guys above have waaaaaaay more experience than I. But the scales and coffin are really nice!

Keep the box, keep the inlay, and you are several pieces towards a complete PUMA. They're hard to find with everything intact, so $10, IMO, isn't a bad price for the nice wood coffin. Now the hunt for a blade begins...
...welcome to RAD, my friend.

Benjamin, you forgot the washers again!
Take the scales apart and keep the thrust washers. Sometimes they are all that can be rescued from a razor so consider yourself lucky. I believe that the scales can be dissolved acetone. You only need to dissolve them sufficiently to gently remove the inlays.
