Took a lot of years to get that honest wear and patina. Really in nice shape IMHO. I wouldn't dream of shining it up. It has character as it is.

Here is my new W.M. Greaves stub tail. At least it is now since someone cut the tail down. It's an oldie with the WR on the tang.

Any info on gratian warranted would be awesome. Will try and post pics. Smart phones not being cooperative.
Hello everybody, i'm browsing the forums for a while but never posted before so this is my first post.
I just loved everything i've seen on this thread since I recently found myself as a stub tail lover.
As for now I don't own too many stub-tail/very early razor but I'm definitely doing my best trying to place my hand on some...
I have in my possession three old French razors with no tail at all (two of them comes in a nice honing case).
But my favorite is the j.cam.patent that i've rescaled just today! These scales were removed from another old french razor and seems to be made from a horn.

The crazy thing about this is I was just sitting here thinking, " I wonder if it'd be rude to ask Scienceguy or Voidmonster to post up some shots of a big bunch of their REALLY old stuff." So, thanks for reading my mind! :)
Well I hate to post the same pic in a bunch of places but since this thread just got brought back up I just did a restoration on this John Barber stub tail!
