    11/16 is original width on a Special. Shure looks nice. Awesome shavers! Congrats!

    I rest my case.

    I have it's twin and was going to say they are 11/16

    The scales look to be the same as mine and are original... Looking at the close-up pics on the auction I would guess that they are even original pins it just looks like the Pivot pin has been beat on a bit more than the Wedge pin which is quite common...

    BTW these razors react very well to the Shapton system you have

    I really must get myself a CMon, they sure are good looking blades!

    Congratulations on obtaining a fine looking razor.

    Hmm, looks like there's an American straight AD brewing, just scored a nice Geneva, a hair under 7/8:

    Here's mine, as promised. It doesn't have the size anywhere on the package, but it measures 11/16 (that's what vintage 5/8 usually measures). It does have hammered tang with a flat stripe in the middle where the stamp is (and complete with a fingerprint)
