My Wade and Butcher arrived
Well, it came today and it looks in pretty decent nick to my untrained eye, in need of a clean but in reasonable nick.
If it comes off right it will not only be the pride of my wee collection but also a favourite shaver. It feels really good in the hand!
Only thing I can see is that gold coloured spot over the stamp on the blade, it doesn't feel rough but I can't rub it off with my hand.
The scales are good, again in need of a clean, but not chipped, cracked or warped. One very happy bunny.
Any opinions on what the spot could be?Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cosy, doesn't try it on!

GOLD color ??? I hope it's not what it looks like to me. Ever see a floor where somebody has been brazing above? If it shines when you polish it you may have some work on your hands.

Well it didn't go shiny when polished with metal polish and a cloth. Bit of rust I would hope can come out, may loose some of the etch though. Other than that, for £25 I'm happy.

I think you may be right. I'm hopeful it can be mostly gotten rid of. Razor has been soaking in a bath of wd40 overnight after a quick polish with a cloth. Rest of it looks to be decent steel.
