Thread: John C. Cockhill came in

I've been having a bit of a thing for Sheffield wedges lately, just couldn't resist.

It's a 6/8 with a bit of a smile to the edge. The blade doesn't look too terrible, some small chips in the edge that should come out. The scales are a bit toasty - fed a lot of bugs. The show side has a small stamp near the center consisting of a W, then a partial triangle, possibly a D, and then another character I can't decipher. The back scale has a larger stamp towards the wedge end of W Y, possibly a bug chewed I, then 865. I haven't done an extensive search but found a bit of info on these razors here https://sharprazorpalace.com/razors/...-cockmill.html. I haven't been able to locate much about the scale stamps. They might be British military stamps indicating regiment and possibly dates I'll do some more searching. In the meantime if anyone has more info I'd like to find out more on where this razor may have been during it's life.

Hopefully, I can get this one back to working order with most of the original parts. I've seen some amazing saves on horn scales from SRP members, but I think these are a bit beyond me right now. So, new honey horn will be in the works (saving the old scales of course).
