I'm always happy to show this old guy -- I've never polished it or buffed it (obviously) or nothin' -- I just honed it up and it scares the whiskers off my face....
I hope you enjoy yours as much as I have mine.Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

Wow! That is REALLY similar to the one I've got! The differences are interesting. Yours has a blade profile more like my GR-stamped W&B with the taller spine, whereas mine has the teardrop shape blade & spine. Also, yours has a pronounced spike where mine looks like it tried to have a spike and just got tired of the effort. Maybe it got chipped and then ground down?

A comparison between the Lord & Harvey and a Wade & Butcher made between 1821 and 1830.
The Lord & Harvey is the top one, the Wade & Butcher is the bottom (you can just make out the spine stamp on the W&B).
Both blades open.
And the profile of the Lord & Harvey -- classic 'teardrop' shape, as opposed to the W&B and Stimpy's Lord & Harvey, which both have the squared off spine.-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
