Otto Deutsch Restore

[gssixgun]

This is an Otto Deutsch "Hans" that just got to me...Naturaly slightly worse off than I was hopping for when I saw it on the Bay....
I decided to post "before" pics on this one and then post the ongoing progress... WARNING!!!!! last time I did a thread like this the whole system crashed
The razor is a true 11/16 spike point full hollow My favorite style of razor for personal use...I don't know why but this size just seems to work best for me. I will use anything from 4/8-6/8 after that they have a tendency to end up on the B/S/T forum

This one has some rust on the back side and spots of rust on the front Looks like I am not dealing with any pitting, but still to early to tell.... Looking at the pivot and the fact that the pins are all original I am not going to pop pins on this one I'll use some string and rouge to clean the pivot later, and put just a touch of Kroil in there today, so by the time I need to clean it any rust will have been lifted and softend... If yer not familiar with Kroil I would suggest you look into it...
Since I don't think there is any pitting under the rust, I will start at 400 grit paper and see what happens.... This things are always an adventure!!!!!!
