Someone else commented on the beauty of this blade in another of David's threads here

I saw that warp too, but I guess the person who brought up the link couldn't see it? Looks like someone grabbed it with a pair of pliers and twisted away. And is it just me or does it look like the blade is resting directly on the scales where they are bent?

Yep, that would be me. Even though I know the scales are warped it really takes a lot of effort for me to see it...guess I should stay away from buying any ebay razors. Those seem like good pics and the seller even mentions the scales being warped in the description.

I do see what you mean about the blade looking like it's touching the scale in the last pic. Too bad really, take away the warping and those scales look beautiful. However, depending on how much stock you place in the seller's description supposedly the blade doesn't hit the scales...looks pretty close though.

I would be very leery of it because I tend to close my razors like I close anything else - without worrying that the closing mechanism will damage whatever it is I'm closing. Do you have to carefully close the blade on a perfect plane in order to miss the scales? If there's no forgiveness there, then that hundred dollar blade might be in trouble. If it's tight and very difficult to make the blade touch the scales, then I guess there's no problem - maybe it's a good deal?

[Edit: I keep looking at that photo, I blew it up, scaled it, ran lines on it, and that blade is less than a shadow away from touching the scales down toward the toe end. He does have a perfect eBay rating though, maybe he is able to back up his description]

I would have thought it would go for more. Goldenedges have been bringing in over 200 recently.

Lately I've been restoring ducks left and right. This set of scales is another example of them being exposed to heat. They could be realigned but they will always have some kind of bow in the one side. I too don't think that blade is in that great of shape. I do wish more folks would read Billy's buying guide. We might see a return to realistic prices.
