there must have been a metal decoration like this (for example)

the punches are not the same, but it is Sheffield.
This blade must have been very wide at the origin

yes, the color is restored and the shoe polish protects. thanks for the advice

I take this opportunity to ask if someone can give advice for the restoration of the coffins, in particular for the color and the products to protect them.

yes, and it must be restored as much as the razor because it is rare

Magnifico !!!!

New razor. Bought to another collector. A marvel of folk art. The horn handle probably dates from the late eighteenth. A sailor, a boat, an illustrious stranger, a radiant skull and the god Hermes...

I think the scales are original. The decoration does not seem a scrimshaw but a drawing technique based on iron perchloride known in France for the decoration of bone knife handles. Everything looks...

Pages 34 and 35, two razors early 1700 supposed to have been made in Spain
