Thread: Restored Wm. Jackson & Co. Sheffield

Here are before and after pictures. A 15/16 blade. This is my first set of horn scales. They are a copy of the originals which were broken. I was able to save the original pin washers. I had to make a new lead wedge also as the original was to pitted on the edges to save. The pin washers were 2 pieces which I thought was interesting. One iron washer inside each brass washer. I think they were there to re-enforce the brass and keep it from crushing down. I made new inner washers from brass since the iron was pretty badly corroded. I went light with the abrasives on the tang because I wanted to save as much of the stamping as possible. Some of the pitting was deep. This is the largest blade so far in my collection. Gonna hone it up this afternoon for my Sunday shave tomorrow.
