    Default looking for Masonic etching pictures

    I recently bought this razor from an antique store. It is a 9/8+ W.G (?I think it is a G).Wilton with Masonic etching. I was wondering if anybody had a picture of the etching that is not messed up. I am thinking of repairing the etching but do not want to repair the pattern in a inaccurate fashion. I will probably leave it as it is if I can not find a good picture to copy.


    Thanks


    Charlie

    Looks like the etching is just a random design at created at the time of mfg. Here's a pic of mine and the etching is different again.

    Here's a W&B variant with gold.. Maybe gives you some freedom to interpret
