The design is pretty much my favorite ever, though. From the weird double-hollowed rattler grind to the thumb-cutout, this is just the razor design for me. It's not huge, but that's fine. It doesn't have to be.

(And before anyone gets excited, the book it's on is about Gilchrist's son and offers only one or two sentences on the razor guy.)

I have a Joseph Elliot like that...here's a pic before Karl did a magnificent restore on it.



And I think you have the other Napoleon Raggs....:-)

That is an awesome Elliot! It adds the bottle-opener point to the whole design! Sweet!

I've only got the one Ragg Napoleon, but it is a doozy! (And a sweet, sweet shaver too)

That's a spectacular Napoleon, I remembered when a few of them went on auction right from the family, like a feeding frenzy and I only managed to snag one of them.

Here's the Elliot after Karl's magic, nice a clean and some new skins:



Joe Elliot had some strange shaped razors, have that weird frameback with the belly on the tang, and a few more like the Damascus and another with a pinched tang...superb maker, and from my favourite place - Sheffield!

My Prezioso Speciale beats my others hands down, I have three the last that were available
