Thread: Blued Wade&Butcher?

I found this W&B at the Flea market. I couldn't pass it up for $4. The horn scales show that this blade has had a long rough life. The blade is blued. The bluing looks to be better than a home bluing. There is rust at the pivot is on top of the bluing as is a few more places. It is etched Medium Size Hollow Ground barely. The markings are Wade& Butcher, Sheffield England and a what looks like circle B with a arrow pointing to a Maltese cross. Is looks a like worse than it is because of the bluing. I know W&B used England on the blades prior to the 1890 act. Is it a oddity or just a abused razor.

I figure worst case, I have a W&B to hang up with a few other finds

What do you guys think?
