    Picked up three good restoration projects in the last couple of days off ebay.

    Two Wade and Butchers and a John Shaw. All three had what I consider pretty cheap BIN prices so I grabbed them.

    That's what I thought. It had a BIN price of $45 which I thought was too good to pass up on. It probably needs new scales but the blade should clean up well. Looks to be 13/16 - 7/8 in size.

    Yep, I agree! I haven't seen a John Shaw with a blade of that size lately & if I did, it wasn't cheap! Good thing you got it because if Cardinal Phrank saw it, he would already have it at Val's!

    Got this the other day off the Bay.
    Scales a little warped, but a little hot water and a oversized brace and a minute in the fridge, took care of that. Next is to reblue the spine and tang.

    Oh ya, IT SHAVES AWSOME!!!!
