[FOUND] WTB: 91 mm Victorinox scales
on: February 16, 2018, 10:25:27 AM
Good day folks - I am looking to replace damaged scales on a 91 mm from 1960 - 1968 with a Bail. I would be interested in acquiring a pair of such scales with the two perforated ends to allow installation the the Bail and it’s associated pin. At this point the colour is not relevant to me. Having the two normal Scale tools insertion point would be critical (toothpick/tweezers).


Thank you in advance for your consideration

That is a sad sight indeed.  Wish I could help.  Good luck!

Are the scales-for-a-bail different to the older solid type, other than a through hole at one end?  I guess they don't have the recess for the bushing at the bail end.  I'm fairly certain I have some solid scales you can have that could be persuaded to work if you filled that part with something like epoxy or JB weld then drilled through.

Oh my! If you have solid scales; that is exactly what I am looking for. How do we proceed?

You PM me your address, I'll post you some scales. :tu:

I'll have to have look in the empire of dirt first though and see what I've got.

Solid scales?
I believe I've got a set of those too somewhere...
Or have I used them? :think:

Maybe they were ecolines...
:shrug:

Need to check...

So, turned out I bought a beat up Swisschamp at a yard sale which had solid scales last summer.
The front scale was ruined and I used the shield on some handmade scales.

The back scale was intact and is polished to good condition.
It is a plus scale, so not really period-correct.

I've got 2 bright red Ecoline scales of which the shield has worn off.
These are solid too, but far from nice in my opinion.




If I were you I'd wait for a better offer first...
What a piece of smurf...
Sorry...

Nick,
Thank you for checking. I agree that your scales are not “period correct”. Let’s see what else turns up. Hope you feel better.

I’ll post detailed pictures of my efforts on the famous “The Awl new CDNCHAMP” thread. Actually that thread should be made a sticky for all to admire.  :angel: :D :D
