Thread: 1800's Jonathan Pitchford

Purchased this Pitchford from Budapest where its been living the last 100 years or so.

As per the seller, he did nothing but sanitize the blade. I am not convinced. Looks like it's hit a few wheels in it's day. Not complaining mind you.
I haven't tried it out yet. That will be tonight. It has the faintest barbers notch tip and a smiling 5/8 blade now. Scales I think are horn and either repaired or with a seemless split by the pins.
All told, happy with the purchase price and another old blade from Britain to add to the fleet.
Cheers.
