    Default George Brittain monster just under 10/8

    This was a white whale of mine for a long time. I found one with damaged scales, made some new ones from lignum vitae using cocobolo for the wedge. I coated the blade with brownells oxphoblu, a cold blue compound. I really like the way it turned out, but if you do not, it polishes off really easily. Nice deep, crisp stamp. No deep rust or pitting. Some light spots in a few areas. I'm highlighting everything, flaws and all, as best I can. I salvaged the original washers. Please let me know if you need more pictures or have any questions. Price is firm.

    Price: $650

    Shipping: US only $12 fully insured

    Congrats on a rare blade save, I find shaving with the GB Anchor one of the nicest shaves to be had, just something about the steel on these, like some of the old Greaves, just mystical feel to shaving with them....beautiful opportunity to grab a rare blade....
