Picked up this Greaves yesterday while on my travels at my favorite Antique shop for $10.00. The blade is in good condition, though there is a bit of hone wear...nothing terrible. Minimal rust, and just some grime that I need to continue to try to buff out. The scales are obviously homemade. I may replace them, or try to sand them down a bit and try and salvage them. Someone put some time into making these scales, and thought they didn't do a good job, I'd like to see if I can improve on their work if possible. Honestly, I'm trying to make my first set of scales, and I'm not sure I could do much better! Anyway, The scales appear to be old. Excited about my first Greaves- should shave well.
I took a close-up of the tang for age identification. Can anyone assist me here, or point me in the right direction here at SRP where I can find out roughly how old this razor is? Thanks!
