8/8 John Marsh Quarter Hollow
The blade has a nice patina to it, with some darker spots. I did not clean it because there is a faint masonic etch that I didn't want to destroy.
There is a nice thumbnotch on the tang, and the makers mark includes the VR stamp.
The scales/hardware appear to be original, but the front one has a crack through the heel pin. It is stable, but has caused the heel of the blade to just slightly peek out of the bottom of the scales.
Please note that the blade is longer than standard, measuring 3 3/8 from the toe to the grind in the shoulder.
This razor was shaving nicely, but I haven't shaved with her in at least 5 years, so let's say "not shave ready."
I'd like $250 shipped in the US with tracking, but feel free to make an offer.

I look at things such as this and think I wish I was equipped and knowledgeable enough to do a perfect regrind without loosing any width. Those scales would be repaired.. Originally Posted by RezDog
