    With the very slight show of a heel I would be inclined to think 1810ish, a grand score from my perspective. Others have many early examples in their collection, mine is very slim on that era and I think it is a wonderful score. I would be dancing if that was my score.

    Nice find. The scales look like they could be wood with a bone wedge? Hopefully that rust isn't too deep.

    Nice Find! Irish razor, more then likely the work of John Millikin a Dublin cutler, first listed as such in 1803.

    Nice find. Like Substance said, the scales may not be original. If you send it out for a pro restore, I would try to keep it period correct. There are quite a number of nice restores of that era on SRP .

    Thank you. I will attempt to research the scales more.

    Thank you. I was excited to find it. This one might be worth a professional restore.
