Got a nice surprise when I got home today, Mr Postie had been and it wasn't a bill - it was my ebay winnings

First thing I did was open up the package and inspect the blade - looked better than in the ebay pics so the the next thing I did was to take some pics.











The blade sits nice and tight in the scales and there aren't any jimps at all on the edge itself. The only thing that needs doing is the rust needs taking off and just giving a general clean up.
To say I'm quite chuffed at spending only a fiver is an understatement.
I wouldn't mind knowing how old it is but after seeing this..

it's older than I thought..
Can't wait to hone her up and have a shave
