It’s actually very difficult to get a good photo of the stains…

Oh, yeah, this looks barely stained in the photos. Nice find! I'm curious how the unpeening will go. With this triple rivet, there's more opportunity to ~~mess one up~~ learn 😅

I'm hesitant: the scales are in excellent shape, and I've never unpeened anything. The rivets are very loose though. And I hoped that I could get away with only removing 1 rivet..-

I find the repeening scarier than the unpeening. When I started out, I got myself cheap plastic scales from Maggard to train on and I didn't regret it.

And I hoped that I could get away with only removing 1 rivet…-

I mean, sure, but don't you want the three rivets to look the same afterwards?
