deer antler measure

[Diverguy83]

well i just finished up my antler measure so as soon as i can pictures i will put em up after i was done it measured out to 80 grains of triple F.
also is it time period accurate to put scrimshaw on items like this?

I guess it depends on what "TIME PERIOD" your looking at! Many old antler measures had scratching, filing designs and carving lines engraved on them for decoration and many were just left plain.
