    absolutely! i cleaned off the tarnish with polish but no sanding on it. im 100% positive the grind lines are all original and even the edge is remarkably well intact on her

    That is one horrible looking razor, but I will take it off your hands for you so you won't be troubled by it. Very nice.

    Wow! That's about as close to NOS as you get on a razor rolling up on 250 years.

    It pretty much just needs new scales and some time on the stones.

    You absolutely have to post pics when the restore is done.

    May your lather be moist and slick, the sweep of your razor sure, and your edge always keen!

    I was wrong but close. This is the one I'm thinking of because it only has a letter or two but it is partial.
    Here's the same razor here in the 1700's Show;
