Oil is on blades.
definitely no collars!
Pin was red hot
It's not plastic guys

That is a nice rotation you have there. Sheffield blades ... real nice. I've seen 7 day sets with a soft cloth or leather case before. Maybe a cost cutting measure or for traveling. One way or another, nice set. Neil Miller or manah will probably be able to dig up some history on the maker.

You know that they were appointet cutlers to the court (only a handful of companies were). Sometimes there are thick ivory scales too, I have a set of mappin&webbs that's 2-3 times thicker than the normal ivory scales.
Ivory is really strong material, plus it's rare and expensive, so it was naturally cut thinly to cut the cost, but there's always the option to splurge and have thicker scales.

Here's a pic of ivory Bokers in a seven day set for comparison:

Indeed, the real McCoy! Now, the challenge is finding a match to replace the cracked one!

Easier than one might think,Ivory can be colored to match.
Actually on that crack I would opt for a repair.

Or you could fix it the old fashioned way and reinforce the crack with a band of sterling silver.
