Just picked this up for £6 (US$12), in a local antiques shop. The scales are warped, and it needs a little care & attention, but not a bad deal, I hope :) :

HA HA! You stole that baby!! I just love antique stores.....so many cool things can be had at really awesome prices - thats a great score! :tu
Antique stores in my city have more inverted blow than a jet engine, or rather, they have no razors.
Did find a nice box the other day which could be tinkered into a razor-holder-thingy.
But grats to you! =)
I bet that will make one nice shaver! You got a good deal there.

Nice one mate youv'e got me looking round my local antique shops now.
Looks like you got yourself a bargin.Paul
Nice find! I wish my antique dealer had some of those.
Cheers chaps :tu I was, needless to say, chuffed :) I've not decided yet whether to remove the inlay and try to embed it in some replacement scales, but ultimately that's all frippery - it's all about the blade...
[QUOTE=Chady;171807] more inverted blow than a jet engine,

Those puma's are ace.
I still can't find any antique stores that sell barbershop stuff. :(
Check the restoration area, there is a good chance you can fix warped scales by boiling them, might only work on celluloid, I can't recall. Good find!
