I've been trying to buy a straight razor for a while, but i wanted it to be old one that I would restore/ have restored...

Anyway, I was walking around in Philly and found this in an antique shop.

Tang: DEVON MFG. CO. GERMANY I cannot find the name DEVON MFG anywhere on here or the internet...

Blade: Scored and pitted , but it doesn't seem to be much tarnishing... measures between 5/8 and 6/8

Scales: They proclaimed them to be bone, I can't even find pictures or mention of bone scales anywhere... Its definitely not wood though... also faint blue, and pink staining ... wedge is dark wood

Pins: pivot is loose until about 75 degrees open... holds tight after that ... the washers seem tiny, and the pins are the same color tarnish as the tail
