Thread: I 'think' this post goes here: Would Like your Opinion

Hello all,
I wasn't sure where to post this but it seemed to fit here so here goes.
The Story
My brother, who knows I've started shaving with SR's, has asked me about a straight razor he recently picked up. I told him:
1. My guys (that's all of you) won't do a valuation; Rarity is another matter.
2. My guys (you again) may be able to say whether or not a restoration is possible.
3. My guys (man you all are some busy people) might know a little about the brand/type of razor.

OK, now what I 'think' I've found out from the pics of the razor and by searching the forum:
1. This is a Swedish razor (Svenskt Diamanstahl??) but is marked Solingen, Germany. From my reading this isn't a big deal but I'm not sure if it is in fact considered a Swedish razor OR one of Solingen fame?
2. It says Silver Steel, but from my research here there is little chance that silver was actually used in the manufacture.
3. It looks to me like the engraving symbol on the tang (hallmark??) is that of an eagle holding a crown...either that or it's a buzzard with it's head in a bucket..
4. I don't see any evidence of cell rot...the scales look to be in good shape.
5. It looks to me like the heel is smaller than the toe??? Bad honing??

So that's all I can see that seems to be of note; please forgive me I'm a real newbie here.

Does this razor seem to be a 'viable' restoration project and is it even worth it??
Anything anyone can add would be greatly appreciated.

All the best
Mark
