Cheetah Meat here. Representing all of the GB lovers here except my arch nemesis Sheffield Lover...LOL Can't wait to get this one in the mail.

Here we have a very rare George Brittain straight razor.It's marked with and iron cross,the letters GB and an anchor.In researching this i found it to be by George Brittain and was probably made in the early 1800's(all info i have came from internet search).Blade is approx 1" W and it measures when closed approx 6 & 1/2" L.There's some surface rust(see pics) that could probably be worked out some,but i'll leave that job to the lucky winning bidder.Silver scales ( not sure if it's real silver or silver plate) have no cracks or chips just some minor scratches.Will need to be sharpened.I did an extensive internet search and couldn't find another George Brittain razor w silver scales therefore i expect this is a very rare straight razor.I'm not an expert on straight razors but i've found some recently and am putting them out there for bids.I've tried to describe as best as i can. Good luck.
Thanks for looking

Had a W&B with Alu scales exactly the same as those - bin 'em I say.
I reckon you and Sheffieldlover need to have a duel to sort all this out once and for all ;)
