"Real good condition"
Yeah...right!
Except for the chipped and cracked blade!
When you are dead, you don't know that you are dead. It's difficult only for the others.
It's the same when you are stupid.

I'm on my phone now, but there was is a Wade and Butcher, Magnum Bonum, I saw on eBay , seller says it's in good condition, look closely at the pics and you can see a chip out of the edge and what is most likely a crack coming up from the chip.
Beautiful blade, with the chip, maybe you could do something, but add the crack into equation and it's, at least for me, an automatic pass.
In ll fairness, seller probably just thinks it's an old big straight razor, looked up what WB's are going for, and put it up for auction...don't want to attribute any bad motives to the seller.

Yes, I saw a bid in it, then checked back and saw that it was gone...someone else must have looked closer at the pics.

Not sure on the crack but the chip is enough for me
I limit my RAD to complete blades as a minimum
Unless I only want the scales for something specialSaved,
to shave another day.

Sorry but I do want to "attribute a bad motive on the seller." Most people are unfamiliar with straight razors but ARE familiar with knives of one sort or another. Any goober knows that the cutting edge is what matters and this one is NOT in good condition.
