welcome to the club man!
Here's the one I picked up off of ebay, just came in todays mail. The discoloration on the reverse side of the blade appears to be adhesive, probably from a tag at a flea market or tag sale. As noted previously, it definitely needs new scales, but the blade shows very little staining or rust. I think I got a good deal.. :D

Doc asked me to post this here. This is a 6/8 restore I did recently. It made it into my rotation.

Can I get in with this old Reynolds I'm working on? The etching can't be seen, but it is a genuine Diamond Steel.
fred, your WB gets you in here but that reynold belongs in the reynolds rat pack!
show us your WB!:D
When I get my best shaver back from Gary (Traveller), I'll post it and some more that I have.

My first W&B. Got it from ebay. Aside from the staining and some light pitting (the darkest spots) the blade is in really good shape. I'm a little short of cash right now, so the restore will take a while, but I'm young...
ps. the really dark spots at the very heel of the edge are from the sharpie I was using to check the bevel...
Here are a couple that I finished this weekend. Great Shavers.
Nice scales Dave_D!
Here's my Butcher. I borrowed Gary's picture to enter.
