First restore "The Celebrated" in black horn

[dpe1098]

Really liked the look of one of these big heavy Wade and Butchers. Finally tracked down and won one of them from Ebay. Had badly damaged scales and blade needed some cleaning. Got some black horn sent across the sea from Chris at Masecraft and made some new scales with aluminium lined black horn wedge and silver nickel pins. Quite pleased with results just wished I made the wedge end of the scales a bit wider.

Nice job. Beautiful work.

Nice done sir!

Looks great! Some of these first restoration project threads people have been posting look like pro work. Way to go!

Very well done; nicely proportioned to the big blade!
