    I've had a couple of those razors including those scales. I never seen the scales in decent shape as the ones I had were warpped all to hell. And very soft. Yours look nice.
    It's just Sharpening, right?

    Nice. Wilbert's made some nice razors. Just cleaned one up, and gave it a skip across the rocks. Great shaver.!

    There is a slight bend on one of the scales, but like all the other older fancy scales on razors I have, I just have to guide it carefully to close.

    Wilberts were sold by Sears. I have always suspected Boker was the maker.

    I have an Elk. I don't have the coffin for it though.
