The original horn scales were pretty chewed up on this ERN, although the blade was in pretty good shape. I reground the blade and polished it up some, but really wanted to salvage the original scales. Being bug damage, I decided green was the optimal choice for the plan in mind. I like how it turned out to the point I believe I will keep it for my own. I like to keep as much original as possible on these restores and I think in the end the bug damage made the old razor pretty unique.
