Is there a doctor in the house? Any help for this old Schrade?

Hi Folks,
This old Schrade auto would have been an awesome piece back in the day. It still has a full blade and fires but there is a chip in the metal of the blade on the pivot where it would lock open at. There are cracks in the scales and small pieces of scale missing as well. The scales have awesome jigging in my opinion.
So what I am wondering is if there is a chance to make this knife sweet again or is it a lost cause? Is there a repairman for such things here at the forum? Such a cool old knife and it would be great to see it in working order.
Thanks for any help folks.

That's a shame, it's a nice knife. In my opinion, if you can't find replacement bone covers, I'd use CA glue (super glue) to seal those cracks in the bone. The glue bumps can be sanded down after. The blade will need a replacement, or to have that blowout welded.

Bill DeShivs comes to mind, but I don't know if welds blades. That being said, he is a top notch automatic knife mechanic, and is active on BF.
