The razors are beautiful but the fact that the storage (both!) is in such great condition and remained together all those years impresses me. This was a very cared for Gentleman's Set! You have acquired a very desirable set I believe. Enjoy them!

I know you didn't ask, but I've got to say it.
Don't restore them.
Don't polish them.
Don't try to fix the crack in the scales.
Keep them clean, keep them oiled, have them professionally honed and love them. I think that set is just absolutely beautiful just exactly as it is.

Looks like a couple good ones for Ernie ! LOL. Not really, two beautiful Blades that just need a lite cleaning IMHO, but then again you know what Ernie could do with them, enjoy that great find Sir !

How long have they been grading steel with grades like 1090? Possibly marked to show off such a nice steel for the time?
