Greaves with brass.

I got this out of the mail box today. I normally hunt for Duck but this had some shimmering glimpse of brass in the picture so I shot at it. It had a lot more brass than I thought it did, that's for sure.

The brass looks like it is split all the way to the tip of the tang.
Attachment 178126

From what I have seen (and what my old memory recalls) This blade is a little different. It has a wedge (sort of) shape to it.
Attachment 178127

It dawned on me that I have been less than generous with my new acquisitions.
And here is the catch up :<0)
2 rows on the left are various Ducks. The 3 rows on the right is collateral damage taken because they happen to be flying with/near a Duck. The little bulging canvas roll up top is full of odd Sheffield and such. The ones standing at attention I will show soon in very pretty x-rated pictures :<0) I know the group shot is boring but I promise they will all be in an online gallery soon. That is why I have them all out. They are lining up for picture day.

Holy Moly :dropjaw: What a stash.

Holy Quack 10Pups...you got your Ducks all lined up! :D

What a unique frameback. It looks great!

Looking forward to picture day.:popcorn:

That is a COOL looking razor for sure!

Nice display on your other couple of razors... :P :tu

I just bought a duck. I should have it in a couple days. Mine won't shake a stick at your collection.

It's a known fact. Ducks rarely fly alone. I see more in your future :tu

I don't have any. :(

Maybe I'll have to set my sites on one.

Very nice collection Pups. I look forward to seeing the rest of your pics! :)

That's going to be one helluva display shot when you take pics of all those! I can't wait to see your article on them.

Ducks are all they ar quacked up to be!

That's nice pups! Neat to seem me all out like that. Love that frameback too

I keep looking at it because I'm a Greaves guy & have never even seen one like that before. It's a very unique blade!

Interesting Greaves for sure!

Probably ought to send those poor mistreated Sheffies to Tom and me.

Damn shame they have to hide, or do they choose to stay penned up to keep from stepping in duck stuff?:rofl2:

NICE line up. :tu:tu:tu

Good to see your getting all your Ducks in a row.
I take it, that it is not Duck season for them to all be out in the open like that.

You must be an Avid hunter 10Pups nice collection of 40 Ducks nearly

Not in the slightest! What a collection 10Pups, you are always welcome to share! Those ducks are just incredible - I can't wait to get my hands on a duck.

You're teasing us with that reaper brass. Restore in progress? Is that from a Lifetime or a Vesuvius?

What an awesome collection. Count another in line for the gallery showing. :)

Holy smokes that's a lotta steel

Darn it just drooled all over my keyboard :)

I couldn't have said it better Richard.

Andrew you have to be careful here. DAD is a little more expensive than your typical RAD. As you can guess I have been diagnosed as terminal. This is most of the razors and then there is another box of stuff around here somewhere lacking only the barber supply uniform. I haven't seen one yet is why.

Wullie I keep them under wraps so I forget how much I like other brands. I haven't had to sell my pick up yet to pay razor bills and want to keep it that way. There are some odd balls in there much like this Greaves. Maybe worth something someday. After I'm gone :<0)
The 2 rows on the left and that roll are keepers. The rest are just visiting for awhile.

Ted the Reaper in the back ground is a Lifetime in ICU. I will show before and after shots next week. Not part of my collection. I was working on skin grafts when the mail man interrupted me.

Thanks for all the kind words guys. It is really a pile of work I have to get back too finishing. Sometimes my plan feels more like a 10,000 piece puzzle and the pieces are all the same color. I am hell bent on getting more organized and focused so the sharing comes more naturally.

Can you make out what is stamped on the frame? Maybe Patent? I have a very similar one, this is only the second Greaves brass frameback from that period I've seen. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...ml#post1018655

There's a similar one in one of Lummus' articles but it's a different maker.

Nice collection! the frameback is a sweet find!

Yes the stamp on the tang says Patent.
