I just took the scales apart, it has a lead wedge. Any idea how old it might be?

The pewter or lead wedge isn't much of a tell. The tang stamp stamp not having "England" indicates 1891 or earlier. This due to later cutlery adhered to treaty to stamp country of origin. Originally Posted by oldmanarmy

Thanks for the feed back. I was kind of leaning towards horn myself, with a bone wedge. I have to clear out some DE razors to finance the restoration, but when I get it finished, I will post pictures.
