Joseph Rodgers Chopper Stolen from the USA
After a successful special op's into the USA I am pleased to announce this is back where it belongs in the UK.

Blade is stamped "Made for D P Ives & Co, 4-5 Milk Street, Boston'

Hey, that razor needs to come back to the US. It was made for a company in Boston. Taking that back to the UK would be like the French taking back the Statue of Liberty.

I was thinking about this. In all actuality it was intended to be sold in Boston and eventually wind up in Texas! Yeah! That's it!

I've used Milliput before but never thought to use it for scales. Do you know how its outlook is for long term, as far as bonding / cracking or any other issues?
