Ward Bros 5/8 T/shell marble acrylic

This poor old fella had broken scales & some deep pitting which I removed as much as possible. Lucky it was a pretty thick grind
The previous owners name had been etched in the blade also but that disappeared thru the cleanup.
I'll try & save the horn scales for myself but as this one's destined for eBay I thought I'd dress him up a bit.

I'm enjoying working with acrylic for a change & I thought this color would do him justice.
Gave him some brass thrust washers for a smooth pivot & simple pin & washers.
Kept the original pewter wedge.

Not familiar with Ward bros so if any one has any history, thanx in advance.

And yes ! Shaves like a Sheffield :)

wow a great restore and the new scales go with it very well, nice clean design and the right pins done perfect too

Very nice! Those scales are gorgeous!

Very well done indeed

Great job indeed. Fantastic finish on that blade .

I love that blade profile! The ones I have like that are great shavers.

Did you say acrylic tortoise scales? :eek: (of course you did!;)) Oh yeah, I'm there - count me in! :rock: I like the way you were able to highlight the translucency of the scale material; one of its strengths in my book.

Very nice job all the way around. :tu

One word pretty much sums it up... :rock:
