That is a beauty. This is the only one I have, but I really like it. It's quite tastefully done in my opinion. Attachment 116463
Beautiful!
I also only have one worked spine. It is a 6/8 C.F. Schwartz & Co. Same spine work as the first post.

Another beauty! I like the way the design on the spine works with the design on the scales.
Nothing fancy just a chequer board:

Dovo and a couple other manufacturers had similar dies to stamp the pattern.

Dovo Flowing. Just arrived, I can't wait to shave with it. By far the best looking razor I own, at least until my SRP Logo Razor gets here.

This is a nice tread!
Here is my Wacker 6/8 Jugendstil.
Always have to be careful as I flip it at the stroke change on leather side of the strop. I have to completely stop the forward motion, flip until flat on the leather again, only then start the backward motion. The scratches in the leather, from the first time when I didn’t know this, are a sour reminder of this cautious routine.
Thanks,
Paul
