A (very) Large Anchor stamped Wade & Butcher
This one came my way through the local Dutch Bay.
An Anchor stamped Wade & Butcher is relatively rare.
A very large Wade & Butcher too.
The combo though is really rare as far as I've seen these years.
Here she is. with 31.5mm at her widest point, that puts her just a hair under 10/8.
(The tang itself is almost 5/8...
)
Yeah, she needs a bit of a clean-up.
That will be arranged.

Thats huge! Curious to see what it turns out like.
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

I think someone might've put a shovel into some razor scales!

I do not know if that would fit under my nose.

It looks like you could use it for an anchor. I bet it's heavy. It would look great in a collection but using it on yourself might be a challenge.
Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

This is a beaut! Hopefully it stays as close to original as possible. Scales look good what are they?

If I go to the gym for 6 months straight maybe I'd be able to lift it. Show again when cleaned and gleaming.
