Need Help Identifying an old Wade& Butcher
Hi all. Hoping someone can help me identify this old Wade & Butcher. Please forgive me, I'm slightly new to straight razors, only own one (A Boker King Cutter, which I love.)
The other Day my Father handed me a Wade and Butcher and wanted me to clean it up for him so he could try a Straight razor for the first time. He found this tucked away in my late Grandfather's dresser. I was wondering if anyone can give me some info on it, type and how to go about restoring it. I would like to fix it up for my father, & keep it in the family. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
It has a Barber's notch, (not sure of any measurements) On the face of the Blade, there is a Lion to the left of two shields with a banner above it that says Defenders of Liberty.
Thanks for any help.
Jeff
