picking the communal brain
Bought this ERN Crown and Sword from an acquaintance who said it belonged to her grandfather. I wasn't thrilled with at the time and stuck it in a box with some other razors that need more work than I want to fool with.
Looked it over yesterday, realized that despite some pitting and tarnish, the edge is very good. Scales are another story, warped and ugly.
Question is -- what to do? I don't really want to polish off any engraving, or do I? Have it restored? What's that cost? Just offer it up for sale?
Looking for advice.
