Regards Mike,
That is really nice I especially like the scales ,aren't they nice shavers though. I found that as I got older and my hands got shaky these heavier razors were easier for me to control ,lot less nicks

Kindest Regards,Gary

The older the better, for me. Really fond of the earlier steels

Thanks, that is what I have read in the past. That makes me wonder how much pressure was used to make the imprint.
I suspect that it was only used on old, "wedge" ground razors. The full and half hollows might be too thin to withstand the pressure.

That Eagle design is a classic.
