Thanks all for taking the time to read through this thread and comment. Special thanks to Manah for the pics and avatar1999 for the offer to pass it around.


Miner123 - It is a wedge and probably the one you saw. I passed ut up several times due to the price. Carriem came across it while they were having a 20% off sale and thought it would be a good project razor for me and that it was a unique wedge.

avatar1999 - I haven't honed it up yet. If you look close at the pic I posted that shows the scales, the lighter areas are actually areas of the horn that were eaten away by worms over the years. The current state of the razor after I buffed up the blade can be found here: http://straightrazorpalace.com/custo...b-process.html I have custom scales in mind for this blade that will take a while to get to due to the temperature in my shop/garage. I do have a set of vintage horn scales I may put it into today and hone it up for use until I get to the custom set.


Jimmy - I am starting to think it may be gibberish too. My last thought is that it may be a secret script from a group or club.

Slartibartfast - Maybe. Or it might be something like Free Mason script or some other group.

John Crowley - Been there, done that!
