Thread: J. Rodgers CTTM.

I decided to keep this close to original. I could have made up some new scales with the wedge cut into the scales as these are but decided to clean up the ratty looking originals.
The challenge was to recreate the washers. They are similar to the W&Bs, stamped from thin metal with a support washer under them.
I made mine one piece from a sheet of Nickle Silver. They basically look the same but are solid so I didn't have to worry about flattening them when peening.
Didn't go crazy over polishing the blade and gave it a factory type finish. A bit more polishing though on the shaft/spine/tail as is typical.
This way the razor has a vintage overall look to is as if it was a cared for old piece.
According to the reference I could find this may be from as late as 1901. Apparently the wording of "Cutlers to His/Her/Their Majesties, Majesty" will date them.
