Vencedor, solingen.
Nice work. Its a shame you lost the gold on the blade. Did the inlay in the scales polish up? Could not tell in photos. Congrats. Each one will be better than the last.
i could not save the gold , u see the razor were in bad shape, i have to repin it and maybe polish the scales, the scales are plastic, what kind of material can i use to polish scales?Quote:

Celluloid degradation is irreversible so if those scales have it you'll have to trash them or your razor will get ruined.
Looks great, reminds me a lot of my NOS Horstator.
You did a fine job, as said before you'll only improve and you've got a great start!
