Is that a covered tang or just the reflection?
Those are fantastic!
It's a covered tang. It's stamped with the Clauss logo.
That is cool! The fancy celluloid with matching tang is getting rare to see anymore.
Nice one! :tu
Here's a closer look...

Very nice.!!
I have a covered tang Clauss, but not matching, like yours.
Outstanding looking razor!
That's a nice one MisterClean. If you decide to repainted the logo on the tang cover, it's pretty easy. Just cover it with paint and wipe it off the top. It's best to wipe with something that's not absorbent, or it will take the paint out of the letters. I use printer paper. Wipe right away before it gets tacky and use a bit of pressure.
Those are groovy baby! I have not seen many pictures of those crazy scales, and fewer with covered tangs. I think it is an item to cherish.
Lovely work.
Clauss nice, Me like.:dropjaw:

Many of those "waterfall" pattern celluloid scales were prone to cell rot. Keep it out of sunlight. If you want to put it in a display box, make sure the glass pane is of the UV resistant type. If thats the "green" scale color, keep an eye out for browning. if the whole thing is already going brown, keep an eye out for rust specks. I make sure to leave a coating of RennWax on mine, just in case.
