Yeah, disregard all posts prior to your photo reveal. They were about something entirely different.

I'm out, i have zero experience with those contraptions.

good luck.

I think that's a Parker replaceable blade "Straight Barber's Razor", or possibly a copy of one; the crossed arrows within a circle is a Parker symbol. Here's a photo of a current SR1 model:

Am I seeing that correctly? A hollow pivot "pin"? If you still want to take that out I'd drill it and then replace with tubing if i could source the right diameter or a solid pin as "normal" old-timey razors use. Being hollow makes it a simple operation once you figger out how to keep it from spinning. Heck a pop-rivet could work for replacement. If you haven't drilled out rivets before, you might practice on some.

But I wouldn't dink with it unless i was replacing the scales and then one could bush/fill the blade hole and use traditional pins/washers. I like epoxy to resize holes in old blades as it reduces h20 access to inaccessible places. [/drift]
