Newbie needing help with a flea market find
I went to the flea market today and found a few straight razors but only picked up one. I've attached some pictures and scans. It's an Imperial from Germany but I'm only familiar with this maker because they're listed in the quality German list in the Interactive Guide. Any other info would be most appreciated. Any idea as to what the scale material is or what its manufacture date might be?
I haven't started cleaning it up yet but it doesn't appear to be in too bad condition. I'm going to soak it in Dawn and warm water and scrub the blade a bit with a toothbrush. I don't know what the scales are made of but they have a grain to them so I assume bone? Any special instruction on cleaning those?
You guys are a fantastic resource and I appreciate any suggestions you might have.
I don't know if this is the right subforum to post this in. If it's not, please forgive me.
