Thank-you very much for bringing that old beast back to life!!!
It looked for awhile that this one was too far gone, but wow, can't believe it's the same blade...just gobsmacked over how beautiful you restored it, scales are gorgeous, pins, and as you mentioned, no makers mark??? The Anchor looks like a GB, but who knows...the mystery!?!
I know you put a lot of work into this one, thank-you very much, it looks fantastic!

Thanks Mike and Wirm...I appreciate the comments. And Mike...yeah the pitting was very deep on this razor. I almost gave it up more than once. Here's a couple of earlier pics about half way through where I was ready to throw in the towel , but just stepped back for a day and then started up again...

Thanked: 220Nice resto, you really brought that back to life. That pitting looked terrible before you finished it, no wonder you almost gave up! Can I ask how many hours went into it?
