    Default Globusman and 2 Ducks

    That title sounds like the next thing I'll say is "walked into a bar..."
    But no they just happened to get plated at the same time.

    The Globusman is a pretty razor I think. I broke it down , cleaned up the blade and sorted out the shaft prior to plating. Gold doesn't hide any flaws so the metal has to look good. You may notice the gold goes right down the spine and wraps around the tip.

    This Round point was " engraved" with initials using one of those dot type engraving machines . It was right next to the stamp and also on the tail. I was able to work it out just fine prior to plating.

    This square point I got for free. It needed some attention . Here too someone scratched the name " Newell" on one scale and " Chesterton" on the other. As nice as this was I decided to eliminate it.
    Finished off the blade and she's back in rotation. The one razor out of line in the last pic of my ducks is just a visitor !
