I have been wanting a W&B for some time now. I have always been weary of eBay. Is this worth my time or should I pass? PM any comments you have on this link.
Thanks Gents

It might be fine. I see no issues with the edge, but the amateur Dremel work concerns me. On the bright side, it will probably go cheap because of the Dremel damage, but it will take work to make it pretty and you'll distort or eliminate some of the etching in doing it. If you simply want a functional shaver, this might be a cheap way to go.
Oh hell, I just looked at the price. Walk away and don't look back.

Personally, I'd pass.
And the blade is in "excellent condition" with "few scratches."
