Thanked: 203Restored Dirlam
Cleaned this one up a couple months ago but was not happy with the re-pin. Just got in some of those teeny darn washers the Sheffield makers were so fond of, and although this is German, decided they looked much better.
J. Dirlam & Sons. Solingen, Germany. 4/8".
Original scales with embossed Eagle and Stars and Stripes on one side, and just stars and stripes on the other.
Brass pins and washers inside and out.
Honing progression; Naniwa Superstones 1K, 5K, 10K, 12K. Chromium Oxide on Balsa. Horsehide Strop x 100 passes.
No access to my light box or camera at present so please excuse phone photos.
