    Default New pickup. A Mikado. Koeller and Schmitz

    So, I picked up the following for a reasonable price, I think. I also think I'll be able to make it shave ready(as near as I can with what I have... no hones )

    Its a Koeller and Schmitz, however, there are no entries in the SRP database, so I don't know that much about it. Here's a pick as is(I'll clean it up with my limited skill at some point):

    It looks like the front has been repinned by a retard. I think I might have been able to do better and all I know about pinning is from the videos.

    Looks like it's in pretty good condition. Looking forward to seeing it cleaned and shave ready.

    Thanks for the info, but weird. I don't see that when I click on the srpwiki link you provided. Am I missing something?

    That's partially why I initially posted. To see if anyone had one, had a history on the Makido engraving, etc.

    Micado is a model/brand/trade name.
    Many companies can have the same.
    According to your picture in the first post, the maker was Koeller and Schmitz.
