    If original scales are in good condition I would never rescale. Maybe it is just a personal thing. If the scales are just slightly warped that can be fixed. It may just need to be re-pinned is all.

    ok guys i took some pictures and i think i was able to get some with angles that illustrate the problem well. i checked the condition again and there are some scratches on the face of the blade, the pivot is pretty tight and smooth though and there is a warp/bend in the right scale. let me know what you think or if i should get more pictures of anything. i'd hate to have to rescale this one considering I really like the way they look with their original scales so i hope it can be helped

    Typical DD many of them get that warp under the name plate..

    Yes all that can be fixed, but you have to be very careful doing it...

    DD scales are beautiful but very fragile so they are a bit fun to work on...
