Thread: two old ones

Here are pics of two restorations.
Completely original ones (when it's possible, I like to keep them all originals)
first : a french one, probably pretty old, with lot of rust, but unfortunately, I forgot to take pics before...
Scales are in horn.
Even pins are originals.

The second one : no mark.
scales in bone.
lot of work on the edge...
before :



after






Thanks for your comments.

Real nice work,

You've made miracles with these old ladies to bring them back to work they were meant to do.
Would have been most interesting to see before pictures from the first as well. Seeing how the edge looked before on the second razor really shows how much you have worked for it.
I also respect that you didn't make them look like factory new.

Congrats,
Tomi

Wow, that second one I wouldn't have even touched, but you've done a splendid job. And I love clad tangs.

wow, fantastic

excellent job!!
I really like what you have done with the second one.

Excellent ! I like how you've kept the the authenticity & restored function

thanks to all for your comments

Beautiful. You've really done them proud. Enjoy them!

Nice job. I especially like the second razor. Quite a contrast with the before & after pix.
