Thread: My Great Granfather's Hardware

Upon learning about my new hobby, my father gave me all of my great grandfather's str8s for Christmas. None are shave ready and all need restoration. So the plan is to read, learn and restore. Then ship to Lynn for honing as I have no hones yet and I want to make sure the job is done right for these. I bought an old FRN Crown and Sword today for $18.00 at an antique shop to restore first before digging into my family's history. It is the last picture shown.

Here they are:
1. FWE Special - Solingen
2. Black Smith - SR Droescher, New York, Made in Germany
3. Lemaire - Solingen
4. KABAR - Union Cutlery, Olean New York
5. El Barbero - A Paris
6. Davide Collini, Milano
7. FRN Crown & Sword for my first restore
