Hi, all!
I recently acquired a mid 1930s vintage Hammer brand Cattle knife. It's 3-1/4 inches long closed and features celluloid scales a clip main blade, a spey blade, and a very nice punch/reamer. Unfortunately, one of the scales is loose on one corner. I'd like to carry and use this guy (have been doing so for a few days), but I know that sooner or later the scale is going to snag on something and break or come completely loose.
What are some options for re-affixing the scale? There are no visible pins, so I assume they are attached with some kind of adhesive.
THANK YOU!
Here are the original pics from the big auction site in case anyone wants to see it.
