Filarmonica custom restore

I posted about this razor before:
http://straightrazorpalace.com/show-...ica-wedge.html

Finally had a chance to work on it.
I like my blades clean, so I ran it on the buffer, not to completely get rid of all surface problems, but to reduce as much as possible while keeping the etch on the blade fairly visible. The gold wash is gone but the actual etch marks are still there and can be seen( the light outside was really bright so the etch comes out only under the proper angle).

I figured I might as well do some experimenting on the blade, so I blued the tang, I made domed washers for the first time, and I also made y first set of bone
scales. I think it came out pretty nicely.

Bone scales with acrylic wedge, brass pins, stainless dome washers.

Very nice work Stefan, before reading i was thinking ivory scales, came out real nice, the domed washer are a nice touch as well.

Nice and clean classic custom restoration. A beautiful and tasteful job.
