Thanked: 0Help! I.D. this unique piece!
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
any ideas about age or rarity? I would like to have the blade restored and keep these unique scales original ....
