Antique shop find
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

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! =)

Cheers chaps
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...

I was in sheffield in December for a Uni interview and I asked a local where any antiques shops were but he only sent me to that marketplace area. I was tryna score a sheffield razor and it looks like you nailed one good!
Those puma's are ace.
