Ok, here's a link to my flickr account with a folder full of a few closeup pics of the razor.

There's no marks at all on the spine and no nicks or any sort of damage along the edge. Looks like a few scratches (maybe someone tried to hone it or something?). There's a few black tarnished spots on the tang and blade which I assume can be polished out?
