Hi. Few pictures before: Overall in good condition but that nice original scales where cracked. I decided that i want to save them. They're glued and wet sanded with super glue to fill in missing bits. And it worked, celluloid dust mixed with super glue made a putty ;) After: Maciek.

Lovely work as ever Maciek. How did you fix the cracked scale at the pivot point, did you make a liner?

Thanks Madsl.
I've glued the sclales and wet sanded with super glue to fill in missing bits. I wanted to reinforce it with aluminium liners but i think there's no need for that
