Evening gents.
Tried to bring this one back to life without separating the razor from the scales.

The scales are horn I believe, and while there is a small crack on the rear side at the wedge, after tightening up the pins, the wedge, and razor are both tight and true.
It honed up very well after some work. Old British wedges seem very hard steel to me.

It's almost a pure wedge, maybe 1/4 hollow? Barber's notch and quite a hefty blade at just shy of 7/8th.
The original scales are showing their age but are still intact enough for my liking. I'm guessing it's from pre 1900 and am looking forward to trying it out. First shave in the morning after my coffee.
Cheers all.
