Thread: Anybody Familiar with This One?

I'm getting to where if it's from Soligen or the US from the 20's, it's probably magnificent. One find today looked completely new. (Henry Sears & Sons - 'Prussia'". 'Took the most awsome edge I've gotten from a coti. Oddballs from these two locations are often just precious gems.

Your itch is for some new shoes (scales). I'd suggest keeping the originals in good shape, take care in unpinning so they can be preserved. Enjoy that sweet looking blade.

BTW just a little lesson about restoration here OK,,,, since this is what I do, I look first, and look very closely...

Those are most likely NOT the original scales, look at the pins in pic #1 look and compare the pivot pin to the wedge pin...see the difference
See a lazy person will only change the pivot pin, when they replace the scales with a new pair, or clean a razor and replace the originals, the wedge pin is normally left alone... Some of us that hate that look, will pop both if you are going to open a razor, or replace the scales, so that they match and look correct..
Now I could be wrong and it could be the pic, or that somebody pounded that crap outta the pin but I doubt it
It also could be the original scales but the razor has been restored already ??? but something looks slightly off to my eye...
That very well could be why that one razor is screaming re-scale me too

You may well be right, Glen, but it looks to me like it's all original. I guess you'll get a better look soon, and you can let us know from the up close and personal inspection. I'm curious myself.
