Thread: Greaves Stub Tail

I basically stole this razor off of eBay over the weekend. I'm really happy with the buy but there are some fall-backs, the broken scale, some oxidation on the bevel, and some spine wear.

Please help me with placing a correct range of years for this one. I've read that using 'W.' instead of 'William' indicates that it may be ~1845 but the tail makes me think earlier, in the 1816-1835 range.

I'll eventually get around to having this honed and possibly rescaled. In some way I like the cracked scale but my OCD says it's annoying.

Let me know what ya think! I always like to see stub tails being shared so I decided to post my one and only.
