Wade & Butcher "Valentine Restore"

Picked this up at a local auction with a couple other razors...pictures show that the scales have to be replaced.....blade needed quite a bit of work...progression from flap wheels to greaseless compounds to buffing and final polishing.....Decided on Red Acrylic for scales.....bronze and silver for pinning and adjustable pin if I decide to change scales......sorry for the pictures...trying to figure the photography out! Any help most appreciated! Blade is a 7/8 ...1/2 grind? Thanks for looking! All comments appreciated!

Straight from the Auction!

Very nice work Ronnie. Seems more like a near wedge to me.
