Thanked: 0Ok so the blade may have been reground. Any thoughts on If the scales are original or replacements?
Are WB of this age common or less likely to come by?

Thanked: 0Not knowing much other than the info I have gotten here everything looks like it belongs together. I had a feeling it wasn't an uncommon razor but after watching auctions on occasion I just never saw any quite like it.

Thanked: 250Yep, got a phone......an old flip open with a camera. Never used it, never figured it out. Wouldn't know how to get the pics from the phone/camera on the site anyway. To me a camera is a camera, a typewriter is a typewriter, and a phone is a phone.
When I'm through with my SOTD razor rotation I'm thinking of having the neighbor kid come over and take a pic of them all and have him post it on the SOTD forum.

Maybe a regrind or maybe not. The double stabilizer (shoulder) started to show up on hollow ground blades in the mid 1870's. So 1870 -1890 would be a good date for that blade. A safe bet the scales are horn. It does seem odd the spine has such a swayback and the edge is straight. I'd think a blade with that spine would have a smile. Could be the result of a regrind as per ScienceGuy.
