Bengalls South of the border.
Apologies. Long time between gallery posts but all I seem to do is Bengalls lately so didn't want to bore any one
On the plus side I have lots of great b4 shots thanx to the owner. Cheers Andrew
The m/scope shots are mine.
This is a Bengall made for Ward Bros in Melbourne hence the title.
I don't know who played with this one but it looked kinda sad & seemed to have been 'worked' in less than experienced hands.
Edge was a mess, heel worn to the stabiliser & some toe wear.
Anyhoo needed to do a bit of reshaping at both ends & "fix up" the edge.

Looks more like a razor now & turned out to be a great shaver.

As luck would have it. Had a 2nd one of these turn up the following week & owner lives in Melbourne. Kinda fitting
Much better condition & a full 6/8. A light restore starting at 400 grit on the buffs. Pretty razor & shaved as good as it looked. Just a couple of post shots.

I'm pretty sure I've got a Ward Bros Bengall somewhere as well.

Nice Oz! More Bengalls sent back to the trenches, which is where they love to be of course!
