Very nice, Chevhead.
Based on the scale decoration I'm guessing it's an American made razor.?Chevhead likes this.

And here I was ready to tell you to send those worthless scales to me for disposal...
For $10 bucks you should be locked up for larceny, stealing from a little ol' lady like that.Chevhead likes this.SRP. Where the Wits aren't always as sharp as the Razors

Hey Chev, that's great work Sir !!....Judging from the second photo, I thought the scales were toast
Just a thought, have you considered buying some liquid gold leaf (or whatever it's called) and applying it
to that rather striking stamp ?....I've never done it myself, but that eagle would look cool restored !!
BTW, very nice re-profiling on that toe
