If you have a drill you can steady it on a table with one hand and steady the razor with the other. That's how I took my pins off and it wasn't too tough. It will be much easier to sand the whole thing once the scales are off.

I also picked up a tumbler after I had sanded a bit and later wished I had done the tumbling first. It looks like most of your rust is on the thick parts of the razor, which is fortunate. But, the tumbler makes it easier to remove the rust around the stamp, so that you can see the pits before you start sanding. Just a thought - I'm very new to this as well.
