I think this one is indeed forged. 3 pins on the scales, which might even turn out to be ivory. Even if they aren't I can live with them

John C Cockhill, Sheaffield. Interesting to see what I'll get.

RAD strikes again! Good choice though, Ivo!

The scales appear to be a bit thick for ivory, but the blade seems to be from the right time period, so you never know. Very nice looking piece.

No - I got it for a wining bid of 5.50 with a refund I got from a seller of another blade I received today. Come on, this CANNOT POSSIBLY COUNT!

And I didn't have a forged one

Matt (I hope I remember the name correctly) - it does look too think for ivory to me too (knowing my other ivory) - but, again, for 5.50 it could be the ruler scales, for all I care. I'll get some customs for it if I like it

It's a razor, you bought it, it counts. Accept your RAD and enjoy it

It is just the thrill of the hunt. Go with it

Some times you just gotta hope it works out. For $5, you picked up a nice razor that could be a good shaver. If that ain't worth 5 bucks, I don't know what is.

BTW, I really like the blade shape.

And yes, it's Matt.

Just received it. Scales are pretty disgusting. They don't even fit well

The blade rocks! The most interesting / antique I have so far, quite heavy for its size - it's a bit weird variable slope wedge ... Totally deserving some custom horn scales. It's also a great deal as I have seen similar blades with good scales go much higher... But I don't plan to sell. The idea of shaving with something forged over 200 yrs ago is very appealing to me.

Oh there it goes again, GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!!
