    Talking 10/8 in Translucent Buffalo Horn

    Here is a 10/8 "GB". The only other marking besides GB and an iron cross above it is a huge anchor. I have an 8/8 W&B with the same anchor, so this is odd, especially since W&B also have the iron cross. Obviously a Sheffield razor and an early one at that. Scales are translucent Buffalo horn. Really spectacular up close. I tried to take pics of the translucency of the scales. What looks to be a blemish in the back scale is actually the pattern inside the scale. Up close it is 3 dimensional.

    Really beautiful work. Those pins are amazing and it looks like the spacer is perfect as usual.

    Very nice. I like the scales' taper toward the tang. Pinning is gorgeous again.

    Great work. I love the shape of the scales, the pin work looks perfect and the wedge is spot on.

    Overall an amazing razor. Big

    Quick question, is the washer stack #0, #1, #0W, #2?
