Even the transformation he can't do that good if he needs a razor to get rid of the last fur, and that's sorta their thing ain't it?
I'll just use a pin vise and bore it out by hand. Though I expect I'll have to replace the collars.
Haha, I've got a steady hand for things like that, worked as a goldsmith before.
As soon as the pin head is gone you should be able to push the pin out,
in this case it's probably stuck on the other side so I would "eat" all of the heads and the gently pry it open.
But it's better to be slow than sorry! :)
Beautiful. Now that you have it in person, any closer idea if it's tortoise or horn?
That razor is gorgeous, I love pressed horn scales. The blade will be great, there is plenty to work with :) I have a blade that is absolutely destroyed that came on a set of pressed horn scales and it seems to be faintly labeled "WOLF" as well, with a crown stamp above the "OL".
Yep. That's a John Shepherd razor. By the mid 1810's his son George was producing razors stamped 'SHEPHERD'. The WOLF trademark got bought and sold a couple of times, ultimately ending up with Joseph Elliot, though I honestly have no idea if the Elliots ever produced razors with that stamp, but really, the joke is kind of dead when it isn't a Shepherd producing the WOLF.
