Joseph Elliot Silver Steel
My father in law picked this up for me as a birthday present. He found it at a gun show in Bakersfield. The scales aren't in great condition but the blade is. I can't wait to get it honed up and ready to shave.

Nice piece of history you have there. Those scales look saveable unless the other side's worse.
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.

Very nice, very old razor.

This side is the worst. There are quite a few pits like the one visible in the close up.

Very nice - I am a sucker for large old blades like that one. Enjoy the restore.

Unless the scales are cracked or warped, I'd say leave them the way they are. Those little bites look pretty minor. Adds character to a nice old razor

Nice blade profile! I love Joseph Elliot razors too. Should clean up well, except for the pits, and make a nice shaver. I would just oil the scales, they are intact and the bugbites don't detract from the utility of the razor.
