Mammoth tooth as scaling material?
Thanks Zak- yea I told my wife 'don't lose' I agree that the bug bites can be filled, I could have also thought about the replica route but idk I felt like either mammoth tooth or musk I horn would be a suitable match. I have a couple other tillotsons and the came with honey horn.
As for the blade, if its got you stumped, i doubt we'll ever know any more about it... yea the weird tail thing... Idk or where to even start with that one. The blade to me really resembled a W&B ottoman Egyptian & royal Windsor, which I have been after for a long time... I have a thing for tillotsons too so I was kinda a best of both work thins I guess. It's got a super hump tang and swayback looking spine. Ill post more pics 12-25.Last edited by JoeLowett; 12-16-2013 at 05:31 AM.

Yeah, I was just looking at the pics again, and I don't think those are even the original scales. It sits badly in them. Custom scales are the way to go. If I'd ever seen one remotely like it in original condition I might be able to help a bit more on the scales front, but your guess is as good as mine. Definitely one of the wilder antiques.
The blade definitely reminds me of the W&B Ottoman razors, but it's got some serious Loch Ness Monster going on that's all its own. Awesome stuff, and you don't see a lot of Tillotson razors out there!-Zak Jarvis. Writer. Artist. Bon vivant.
