First i want to say hello and was hoping you guys can give me some info on a straight razor I got the other day. I have been loking around and finding info but want your guys opion. I have a wooden handle..brass pin..wedge shape razor with alittle tail. I have the box it came in with the inscription "This razor bought by Edward Kindley in 1778 and carried by him in the war of Revolution". This is not a fake...this thing is ooold. It has "cast steel" stamped on both sides and "germany" stamped on the bottom. I was hoping you can give me some info on this. It's rusty with no chips in it...but should it be repaired? Is that a option? What's it's value? these are all questions I hope you can help me with....Thanks!

I can list pics if you want
