    Default Puma...HIGH CLASS...

    I was working out west of me, and there just happens to be antique stores everywhere. I made a nice haul yesterday. So today on my way home I hit 3 more antique stores and I actually seen quite a few razors today, but I blew my budget yesterday so I had to be picky today. And there she was hiding in a corner of a glass case, I got her out the door for $25. The blade with the gold wash is in excellent condition!! One down side its missing the bolsters by the pivot. Whats kind of funny yesterday I found a F.W Engles LEADER in a Puma case and today I found the Puma.( If anyone has any leads on where I might find the bolsters that are missing on this razor that would be GREAT! If so PM me.)

    Whoa man that blade is in great shape...

    Don't get too upset about the scales those are not the factory ones...

    Measure the blade from pivot hole to the end of the toe,,, let me dig around in the shop, I might have some pretty ones out there to fit it..... If I do, they are yours.. I'll toss them in when I send your Chopper back home...
