In the middle, it looks like the hone wear is slightly more than at the heel or toe, and either it's the shadows in the pic or there may be a slight frown.

I don't think it's anything that would cause any real trouble in honing... nothing a pro couldn't fix for ya. Again, I could be wrong about all of this. I'll defer to someone with more experience than myself.

Still, a good looking razor and I'll bet you'll have great shaves with it!

yeah I'm taking to a guy named Bob that does restos and honing. I just hope I can get several years of use out of it. I hope it's not been honed out already lol. it does have rust near the stamp at the pin but the pin seems to work nicely and has a good feel. a pit in one side near the top. But I'm looking for agood functional razor. Fingers crossed.
