The handles on many of the French autos warp and shrink.
Notice the handles fit UNDER the bolsters on that model.
If you are handy, it may be a better option to make new handles from plastic, horn or stag. Please don't use wood-it doesn't look right on these, and it has to be very thin in some spots. Wood won't hold up well.

The 3D printer thing is something I haven't thought of.
It's a great idea. Please show pictures.

There is a large market for replacement Schrade double scales and other celluloid handles that are deteriorating.
