WM Gilchrist - Black Horn Custom Restore
Make: William Gilchrist
Origin: Jersey City, NJ USA
Era: ca 1851-1861
Model: #34
Steel: Carbon
Grind: Double
Point: Hollow Notch
Scales: Black Buffalo Horn .110"
Wedge: Faux Ivory .065"
Hardware: Tri-metal Pins and Washers
Nice Satin finish on the steel, the horn simply gleams with a full 3M polishing cloth run from 400-8000 grit.. I have only had a couple of these razor cross my bench over the years, mny understanding is they were only made for 10 years..
Thanks for looking

Very nice. I am really starting to like stacked wagers on the pins.
Very nice work!

I've had a few through my hands. I could be mistaken, but I believe my research uncovered that they were an American partner to W&B, and are actually Sheffield steel.

That's a beautiful razor, and a beautiful piece of work!!
The blade looks more swaged than ground. W&B had the Double Swaged and has very much the faux frame back look, but not bellied. Either way, I wish I had it!!
