What does it say on the tang Phrank ? I am scraping the rust off one now that just has the name W.GreavesandSon's Nothing else.
Stubby looking with a more pointed spine like yours ? This one is red though :(

Phrank...nice score bud, I only have 3 early stub tails and I love em...truly jealous of this one though....cant wait for more pics
The chamfered / beveled scale edges are period, in my opinion. I have a couple slightly later blades in horn with that feature.

Just got it Saturday night from eBay, seller say's he will ship it out this morning....there was more auction pics, not great though.
Thanks Richard - those do look like the scales....hopefully I can keep them then.
Here's the only other decent pic from the auction:

The scales definitely aren't original, but look very old and nicely made.
The razor is, IMHO, from 1815-1825, give or take
Oughta shave like a champ!
I saw that Phrank & almost bought it. It was $100 BIN. I waited & took my chances on a Wm Greaves & Sons & won it for $53.99, just pennies more than the bidder below me. Check it out, eBay item #311054821551. It has a spot I'll have to remove from the blade but so what. It has a great smile to it!
