    Well post a bad picture then so we can at least help you find it. There's like a million of us....lol
    With all of the RAD running around here maybe it's best that you don't post a pic at all. I stand corrected.

    When I saw a picture of that razor I wondered if there were others.
    Then there it was. Of course, another has not been seen? Had it a long while. Forget what I paid, too!

    Now Spendur has never seen a picture...Still has faith!

    You have had that on your want list for a very long time. Good score stroking something off your want list after having been collecting for a long time.
    It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

    A project that's gonna take some time, Steve. Nipper's gonna have me busy with some others, first.

    Gotta pay the Piper for the song, first. Then we'll play. But I have done a little pre work to it. Like separating it from the scales, and a clean-up to see how bad things are, and what I can/need do.

    So far its in pretty good condition, for its age.
    No saving the collars...their toasted and flat as warm beer. Scales appear to be in good shape, a bit of warpage and delamination, but nothing in comparison to others I've saved.

    But I see many o' hours at the sanding and polishing block, to bring her around again.

    Nothing better than a good project.
