I am currently rehandling it and fitting new pins as it's going to a friend as a gift

Wayne,

Lucky friend.... This one would have been made
by Geneva Cutlery. After Case took over the
operations were moved to Bradford Pennsylvania.

Thank you , that's great to be able to tell him that .

The person it's going to is a friend who started me straight razor shaving by giving me my Dovo Astrale as a Christmas present.

The Genco is getting brass pins, a mosaic 'stop' pin and meranti scales

Joseph Rodgers is also a very respectable brand.
They are also erasonably easy to find on ebay.

I second the Joseph Rodgers.
