Got this from my brother-in-law. Looks nice. But is it worth the effort if refurbishing, hold it as a collector's piece, or should I sell it? http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/10/21/zedehese.jpg

Clean it up a LITTLE, Try and see if it will take and edge and if it does have at it!
Who makes this razor?
Any markings on the tang?
The last pic it says "Continental Cutlery Co." "Made for U.S.S...... " can't read the rest.
Not sure, but the scales look like ivory. They don't have that "plastic" feel.
I'd say "go for it"! It's always worth a try. You could have a real beauty on your hands, just waiting to be cleaned up...
:gl: Yeah it is hard to see right now. I would say the scales are bone. JMO....:gl:
Looks like our might be a nice looker when done!
I would say go ever it with some 600 (or highe) grit W/D and see how it looks then.
You should at least clean it up. As you start removing the active rust you may be surprised as to what is under it. The red rust seem to look worse than it actually is. It's the black stuff that you never can tell. You can start and then decide it is to deep or too much.
