Stub Tail W Greaves & Sons Restore

[gssixgun]

This Greaves was sent in for a full restore... I kept it as close to original looking as possible but re-did the entire razor....
Josh who owns it, and I both are looking for before pics of this one, I am pretty sure I have some, if I find them i will post them later

All the rust pitting and the 100+ years of patina all disappeared with enough work on the wheels....
The finish is near perfect mirror...

The old horn scales just could not be saved, but I used the same lines for the new scales that were cut outta Wenge... I tried to keep the same look about the overall razor but still tossed in a few of my own touches like the brass lined ebony wedge....
All the new hardware is pure brass and the razor balances to the tang...

The finish is Tru-Oil gun stock finish, fingertip rubbed with IIRC 6 coats...
This took a wee bit of doing to get the Wenge smoothed up...
