Unless I am mistaken, the blade and the scales have been shortened as there is no round point, no top bolsters. I am fairly certain that the scales are not original to the blade.
Yep! I believe I am there, though it still does not quite shave like my brand new revisor. I think I will need a bit more time honing on smiling blades before I improve it. however entire blade shaves nicely.

The only difference that I see, is this. When I finish off my revisor I can take it to the beard stubble on my cheek and comfortable dry shave. This is not the case yet for this blade.

However I find it very likely that this blade was shortened based on grind marks left on the tip.

Hopefully if it was done it was filed down by hand and not overheated as to destroy the temper.
