Got this straight from my father as a Christmas present, old German straight made for an Norwegian ship company around 1910-20. It was in quite bad shape, but some Autosol and steel wool helped. It still looks quite bad, but I'll take care of the finish later. But it shaved great for sure!

Thanks Robert, he rarely eats chocolate or sweets so he went a little nuts, Ha Ha. He is getting big now isn't he, his hair is getting long to. Mamma hasn't wanted to get it cut since it grew back. We think its gorgeous.

Yes indeed. Little Jacky looks quite chipper. Certainly the best Christmas present I can think of for you and your wife.

Glad to see that he looks so well and hear that he is sooo full of energy.
