G. Wostenholm & Son's Celebrated IXL with original Abalone/brass inlay

I recived this one few days ago - history piece of art.
One Abalone piece was missing so I decide to make new one and to do full restoration and keeping all original same time. Now I am in the middle of restoration so more photos will come after all is finished.
Btw. the same razor is in the "STANDARD GUIDE TO RAZORS - IDENTIFICATION I VALUE 3rd Edition" book under Abalone chapter.

Me too but only bad thing is that she will not stay long with me because I have to offer her for sale in next day or two when I finish all...

Now there is one set of scales I would definately keep! Beautiful and nice work saving them :)

To be clear - here scales are that what make this razor worth and there is no much cases over there where scales are more worth than a blade itself.
