The jimps are on the tail portion which is missing from the razor in the OP.

Nope. None at all. I was also informed it might be missing the tail but I have options if not happy. If I can get a refund for it, I'd be much happier or if the guard is one Geezer needs, get a partial refund & send him the guard for his.

Here's a picture of how the monkey pivots at the pivot pin the jumps slide In a groove on the safety bar to keep it from moving

Ahhhhh, you're right! The tail is broken off on mine! Thanks.

I just had an idea! I have plenty of broken or cracked blades which I never trashed. I could find a bad Sheffield blade with lower jimps, cut the tang off & grind it to fit this razor!!!! I could add a tail to it & could bring this one back to life!

Yeah, mine is in the box too. We think too much alike because I also sent Richard a pm last night asking which razor did he have, the one from England or the one from the USA? Ha, ha..............this is too funny. I am yet to hear from him but I also saw the pic of one with ivory colored scales on your computer missing the tail also.

Ha, ha..............this is too funny. I am yet to hear from him but I have to leave for physical therapy here in just a few minutes but i'll be back pretty soon.

that was actually your razor , I had to adjust the screen to level the box for pic so it gave a bad color effect ..lol

That is the one I have and it does have a tail!
Thanks
