I thought I would show this John Barber 7 Day Set on eBay. I can't afford anything right now but maybe one of our member might want it. Some of the blades have morw hone wea than others though so maybe another one will pop up one day in better shape but the scales on this are beautiful!!!

That would be a beauty to have and restore.

Call me crazy but I see 6 blades?
Yep, that is all I see.Quote:

WTF????
I ordered a similar set last year (W&B not as nice but still nice) and it arrived with shattered blades bouncing around inside the box. Had to fight the seller for a refund too. That's a nice set even if ones missing.
You can't accually close a blade into the handle/scales on these sets. Not the ones I have seen anyway. They are too short and are just used for balance and as a handle.Quote:
