Below is part of the sales pitch from the seller on Ebite. I don't know squat about the collector side of razors so most of this info means nothing to me. However it is my first "Made in USA" razor I have and love the hammered tang. This puppy has hardly been used and still has remnents of a sticker on the scale that is not comming off very well. If this was a big collectable I wouldn't have gotten it so cheap :p so I have no qualms trying to get it off. There is next to no hone wear that I can see, and the edge is a mess but nothing a regular pyrimid grind wouldn't cure.
The pics may need re done as I was in a hurry and just knocked them out with my phone (better than my regular camera :cry: )
