Anyone have a plain side scale for this French Bargeon here? Large version 8-9"
somehow got melted and then broke at bottom edge.Would like to keep it original as blade is very nice
Thanks In Advance

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.

Hi thanks Bill that crossed my mind to we have a 3d printer might do something there since the knife is not that rare just a new part of my collection for $20.00

That sounds REALLY interesting. Please show a pic when you print it!

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.
