Thread: The unconditional surrender Grant Razor and another cool find

Had a exciting hunting adventure last weekend ( a antique store and 2 flea markets).First find was the Johan Engstrom frame back which i'd been longing for. Then to top it of a 7/8+ WB Unconditional Surrender Grant razor! i could't get a good image of the etching so you will have to take my word for it. What little info i could find on it dates it around 1860. It seems that in a speech General Grant made he stated that he would except nothing but "unconditional surrender" from the Confederates. A newspaper picked up on it a said that his initials U.S stood for "unconditional Surrender". It became his nickname.
Any ideas for making the etching stand out? i was thinking of trying some gun bluing.

I blew it up for ya ,Vern.
Its the best I could do, with my phone.

Id leave it be, personally.
Nice hunt for sure, two trophies for the shave den.[emoji106]

Congratulations Vern on a couple of great finds.
Always good to see a productive hunt.
Enjoy!

Nice finds for sure, I'd be jumping out of my shoes at that WB! Love seeing things found in the wild. Congrats, enjoy

Nice find indeed. I'd leave the W&B as is and put it to use. I hate not using a razor. Thats what they are made for.
