    Based on the marks on the blade, I think this razor may have been lightly reground at one point. I would still say it's a quarter hollow and very meaty at that.
    I believe the scales, pins, washers, and wedge are original. There is a split at the heel pin, and the scales are a little rough. They are totally functional, however.
    I have to say, I love the small scales on a huge razor. It looks big open, and almost bigger closed.

    This razor was shaving beautifully last time I used her, but that was at least five years ago, so let's say "not shave ready."

    I'd like to get $600 shipped in the US with tracking, but I've been out of the game for a while, so feel free to make an offer if you feel that's too high.

    In case you are worried about the short tail, here are some images of the blade in my hand. If I "pinch" the scales a bit, it's totally stable to hold, despite the lack of finger room on the tang. YMMV.

    If anything, that might be a little low. Good luck

    Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully this means whoever buys it and I will both be happy with the price.

    Thanks, Ron.

    Worst case scenario, I'll say no. And I work with children, so I'm very good at saying no.

    I'll give it a shot at $500. Otherwise I'm just as happy to keep her.

    Since I was asked: I will ship internationally or with extra "features" in the US, but it would cost the buyer a bit more.
