Thanked: 13245StubTail Rebuild
Just finished up a full rebuild
Almost exactly the same thickness on the scales too
The old ones came in at .107” and the new customs left at .102”
Cleaned up and transferred the silver Badge also. That was fun, drilling into a perfectly polished completed front scale😅
The owner decided on any wedge other than lead, so I did a polished Elk Antler wafer
Matched the old outer washer’s look going with domed SS and Brass pins
Honing 1-5-10 Chosera into a Select grade Coticule finish
Stamped Warrented “Amsterdam”
I guessed it at 1795 give or take"No amount of money spent on a Stone can ever replace the value of the time it takes learning to use it properly"

Thanked: 4Beautiful razor and outstanding work on rebuild. It is hard to believe something that old can still be used for it's intended purpose. Job well done.
