    +1 add some zeros to that $12
    An heirloom is definately priceless
    I think a bit of metal Polish and some elbow grease will bring it back to life pretty quick
    Get it honed and enjoy the family connection
    Also recomend a 2nd blade to learn on and keep the heirloom for once you get it together

    Awesome score

    Nothing like being able to shave with a family heirloom. This one belonged to my great grandfather, Fred Grogan. Cleaned it up, had the scales made by
    a member here, pinned it and the rest is history.

    An heirloom is always priceless! You will want a pro to to hone it for you & only use it on special occasions. I would get another one or two for shaving with all the time. You always want a spare for when you send one out to be honed, you won't be stuck w/o one to shave.
