    It's a Robeson thing. It probably had deeper gun bluing at some point

    That is the hand made blade hammered out & those are hammer marks!

    I've really wanted one of these for awhile. Just stumbled across it in the wild. $25 was a great price I think. The corrosion is insignificant and the scales are perfect. I need to find the 7/8 shuredge someday.

    Yea, Robeson’s are junk and the heavy pitting on the tang is a factory defect, stay away from them…

    Robeson’s are great shavers, the blued hammered tangs are prized, your’s is a super find, especially at the price.

    It should clean up easily with just a bit of polish.
