Thread: Great razor very tempted.

I was in two minds having a bid on this one, I love the hunting scene on the scales obviously silver inlay, and the blade looks to be in excellent condition, wouldn't take much to get that razor and scales looking sweet.

So Did You Win It?

I actually think it ended up at a reasonable price, given those scales. In fact, I'd go so far as to say I think 52 GBP was a bit of a bargain. I think we've all seen old sheffield wedges with ornate scales go for much much higher than that. Bit weird that the other scale has no inlays though - perhaps that, and the bit of rust, explains the price.

Nice razor, thanks for pointing it out to us.

James.

I've seen one with the same scales sold in Sweden not long ago, remember the 9 dogs!

was on my watch list too!

did you see that 14 Pegaso the other day? im wondering when the new owner will show it off and tell us all it is the greatest shaver ever.

Outstanding inlay.

I too had it on my watch list and thought if I was available at the end I may bid, however I was not. I wonder if it is here? I was taken by the inlay most of all as well.

With the spine of the blade pointing up, the inlay appears to be is upside-down.

Yes, it is oddly oriented. But I don't particularly care about any arbitrary rules.

But while in use, the inlay is right side up.
