Re-pinning a Wade & Butcher (Original restore)
Hi Guys,
I am restoring a couple Wade & Butcher choppers with horn scales, and 2 of them have the original old "Bull's eye" finishing on the pins.
I want to remove the pins, hand-sand the blades and fix the small cracks in the scales with marine epoxy resin, but when I eventually re-pin them, I want them to have a 100% original look.
Can anyone give me some info on what you've done to replace the pins on one of these and bring it back to its original look?
I've removed pins before on other razors by carefully filing off the top of the pin and a small amount of the original washer, and then removing it all to re-use the original washer with a new pin. That has worked very well, but I'm not sure if I can do it with these ones.
Here are some photos of what I am talking about:
