Very interesting, so its not WAD is WD with a crowsfoot! Does this date the razor, more or less how old could it be with these scales then?
Thanks for all your inputs here, you've made me realise that what I have is worth keeping original! If it wasn't for this forum then I would never have known, and who knows what I might have done to it :eek:
I'm just going to give it a quick buff, clean the scales carefully, and hone it up. It has a nice weight to it, quite a heavy blade and looks like its going to be a great shaver, will update after I shave with it this weekend.
The answer to the dating of your razor with the WD and broad arrow mark is in Neil Miller's post #4 in the linked thread. You generally will never get an exact date of when a razor was made but only a possible time span in which it might have been made as Neil suggests. Enjoy your shave this weekend.
