Dovo 25 Fritz Bracht 11/16
Hi guys,
saw this vintage Dovo on ebay about a week ago and I was attracted instantly by this razor. I won the auction and began restoration this afternoon and evening.
Spend about the whole afternoon and evening (just finished it) to restore it.
It's a vintage Dovo 25 Fritz Bracht 11/16 (1 mm under 6/8) with spike point.
Note: this is a restoration for my collection and is not for sale.

The razor is not pinned yet, I used a litle screw to tighten it up.
I'm still wondering if I'm going to gold plate the tang of the razor (original it had gold on the tang) or not, that's why it's not pinned yet.
Thought I would share this nice Dovo with you guys (I LOVE Dovo's and certainly the vintage ones). I have a vintage Dovo 1516 also, but I'm still searching for a set of Dovo tortoise imitation scales for the 6/8 blade. So if anyone has a nice set or knows where to find them, please let me know.
