Here's one I just finished cleaning up and re-scaling, it looked terrible when I got it and was covered in rust and black patina and the scales were shot.

Good job!
Amazingly, there was almost zero hone wear so it honed up very easily. The original horn scale were completely bug eaten, it probably sat in drawers, boxes, damp basements etc for 150+ years. Under the rust and and bad scales was basically an almost NOS razor from 1830-1845!!
thanks manah very interesting :-))
