    Very nice. I have the same one and it is a fantastic shaver. Are your pins collarless? Mine are and I have been wondering if that is how they originally were.

    I'm currently working on restoring one that was in really rough shape when I got it. My pins are collared.

    Since this thread has been resurrected, I just finished honing one yesterday, that I had restored. My wife picked it up at an Antique Mall in Florida when we were visiting my dad. Not a show piece, was kind of rusty when purchased but I got a BBS, no irritation shave with it.

    I know nothing about straights, however, I do get them from time to time and am always trying to research. I have seen the W.H.Morley & Sons Clover Brand pretty much and have bought and sold a few, but I have never seen one like the one I just got. The blade itself is pretty typical, however it is the end caps that have me totally tilted. The end caps, as seen in photos, Say Special with the Initials F, W, and E with what likes like a green back ground.

    Is this s Special made for someone or something or?

    Any clues? Help would be greatly appreciated

    Thanks
