Need advice on a possible trade for .
I am being offered a trade for one of my DE's. Part of the trade is an H. Eicker & Sohne Heartring 150. It's a small blade, but in great condition and feels very comfortable to me. It also feels way smoother than most other straights I have so far tried, which is not many, I am only starting out and struggling to do WTG passes right now. I have tried a bunch of razors that either were not honed as well or just aren't as good blades. Anyway, this Heartring has some scale problems. Scales are in good shape, but the blade is not centered and has hit one of the scales. Also, it is obvious that the two scales are grossly misaligned. I am wondering what it would take to correct this. Looks like new scales are in order.

Just wondering if I am in for rescaling or can I fix this by re-pinning. This feels like a great learning razor. There are two more razors in this deal and I will post later about them as they each have an issue I'd like to size up. All the blades are great, just the scales are problematic.
Thanks! I am learning a ton and having a great time here.
