A fairly rare Mappin Brothers Lancet Sheffield straight razor. A fancy half rattler grind the Lancet had a patented/registered date of 1848. Restored to its original crocus finish and wearing faux tortoise scales with a lead wedge and brass pins and collars. Rattler grind razors were more difficult to grind because they were ground from heel to toe making it harder to control blade thickness.
