I love these kinds of repairs.
Here is a wrapping job of my own.
I tried to get a club started called Rat Razors but there wasn't much interest! http://straightrazorpalace.com/razor...at-razors.html

Zac,
You might be onto sump'n with that regrind remark. This is one of those razors that just seemed like there was something there that wasn't "as it should be". Whoever re-ground it did a really smooth job.
Here's two pics of the backside heel. There are grind marks that don't appear to match the original tang finish and would be along the lines of marks that would be left after a re-grind.

I'm not automatically averse to period regrinds. I've got an 1840's Fenney that was reground paper thin. So thin it's got a little bit of a belly in the grind from the second concaving. I never would have done that to a blade personally, but I'll be damned if it isn't one of my best shavers.
It still would've been nice to have it in its original, quarter-inch-thick wedgy goodness.
Oh well, for 20 bucks delivered it wasn't too bad a thrashing. lol
