My new F.R. "Celebrated for Barber's use" shares the same style etching/marketing as Wade & Butcher. Just had it rescaled in horn as the originals were unfortunately broken.

I like that lined wedge especially .
Nice. Too bad about the toe...
From the honewear I believe that's how the toe was ground originally to distinguish itself from the rounded toe of a W&BQuote:

Here's another Freddy Reynold's, 9/8, Celebrated FBU, before it was cleaned up, you can just see the etching:

It screams repair to me. Looks like it started as a barbers notch and had a broken toe. If it is original, it's the only one like it that I've seen.Quote:
