Very nice! I've got a NOS one of these and it is an unbelievable shaver. Again, very nice work, especially on the scales.

I did repaint the diamond, it had paint in it but the tang was all tarnished so I had to do a bit of cleaning and removed the old paint in the process. Do some of the blackies have red lettering as well, like on the C & M, it seems like I remember seeing one that did but I really don't know :shrug:

Thanks for the kind words and support.

Great restoration! The first photo made me "step back." But, the clean up really let this razor shine (figuratively & literally) again.

I wish I had a better camera it does have a nice shine!(now) I am going to hone it today and due to the fact that it has no hone ware I do believe it will be getting tape on the spine :)

I have several c-mons and they only have the red diamond. There are a few waiting to be restored in the shop and they also have the red diamond only.

But a great job indeed!

I have one C=Mon Blackie I got NOS that has red in the lettering. Looks like it was there from the start but who knows for sure?

Here's a pic:
