Re: New purchase... Chopper

Re: New purchase... Chopper
Thanks Stimpy52 i appreciate your views.
Im stumped too. I would like to think that the blade hasnt been shortened. It would have been a long blade if it has been though. It doesnt look to have been shortened.
Still unsure about the scales. Id love to know more about it. Surely someone can recognise something about this SR.
I am looking forward to having it restored and having a shave with it.
Ive taken some more pictures in the hope someone can give further info. Everyone ive spoken to is unsure just like us.
The mystery continues...

You mentioned the makers mark, who made it?
Thanks Shooter!!!
Im looking to get her restored in November (when i have some spare cash). She feels good in the hand and fits like a glove.
Once she is back to her best ill give some more updated photos
