    Default Very Old Smith Razor

    I picked this one up today, all I know is it is very old. Any help on the maker (George Smith?)

    It also seems to have very thin painted scales?

    Yup, looks real old. Other than being intrigued, I got nothing for you.

    It looks like the razor was on a fold of the paper. Therefore a shadow?

    Me either Richard, I'm fairly certain those are original scales, if not they are a very old rescale.
