I was over in the acquisition thread but moved here now that I've started on this Simmons keen kutter with unusual scales, advice or tips will be appreciated.
Hopefully you can see how the pieces are easily broken as I attempt to remove the pins.
I'm no closer to knowing what or how these scales are or were made. They're small sections pieced together and held in by the metal (silver?) back.
I laid one of the small pieces that came out on top in the second pic.
I'm sure some horn or bone dust/Ca mix will be a part of this project.
