if you have a special razor that you are worried about damaging in the restoration process, there is no shame in sending it to a pro. i've done that with one of my w&b's before even though i do my own restoration work... i dont regret it one bit.

Excellent catch. The scales are fantastic!
... and you are right. With some honing the edge should be returned to shaving condition.
That's a find, and for $7 I would definatly have it restored. You should be able to find somene to do the work for $35, + $7=$42 and Bam! You got a great looking W&B. Hell, if I wasn't deployed I'd restore it for you. The blade has two spots along the edge near the heal and towards the toe, some touch ups on the 1' belt sander and those disappear quick. The etching along the blade can be saved, you may not get a mirrored finish, but most of the blimishes will come out. I'd send it out.
