Joesph Elliot Silver Steel
Joseph Elliot's cooperate trade mark was granted in 1805. The firm was restyled Joseph Elliot & Son when his son John joined the firm in 1856. This razor most likely dates 1840 to mid 1850's. The show face side of the razor was in wonderful condition clearly showing the original glazed finish. The back face was extremely pitted. The 13/16 near wedge blade with arris spine is stamped 'universally approved' and a glazed finish was used to match the original finish in restoration. The broken scales were reproduced in translucent honey horn using the original lead wedge and Austin Kennedy's period correct brass collars.

Nice one, Karl! That's an awesome razor. Great finish and the "Universally Approved" on the spine shows really well. I like the honey horn even better than the original black, very nice work.

Nice even stamps to start with. I wish I always found them that way. As a bonus this razor had upper and lower tang jimps.

Another beauty Karl! I'm just finishing up an Elliot 'Silver Steel' from the same era. It is a very unusual shape with a thumb notch, and jimps top and bottom. I'll post a pic up when it's done.
Once again really nice blade!karlej likes this.Lupus Cohors - Appellant Mors !

Thanks Mike. Looking forward to seeing your Joseph Elliot. On a different subject there is a monument being dedicated to Viet Nam Helicopter Pilots and Crewmen at the Arlington Nation Cemetery on 18 April. Originally Posted by Wolfpack34
