Thread: W & B American Eagle

I've done several of the American Eagle razors but they had the traditional horizontal etch of the Eagle. This I thought was interesting since it's vertical. I was able to clean up the blade nicely. The area under the Eagle was once a Globe and when I received it only two continents remained. It looks blank here but with the correct lighting traces of what once were the Lat. and Long. lines are faintly visible.
I was able to reuse the orig. scales but some of the rust migrated into the scales around the hinge pin where it was corroded.

very nice work as usual !!!!!!

Excellent work!

That is a very unusual American eagle etch, I like it a lot better than the normal ones! Nice restore, looks great.

Very cool razor. I love the etching. Great piece. How old is the razor?

I can't say for certain. I read that once they started putting the country of origin on a blade it would be after 1900 or so but I can't say for sure.
