Fred Fenney Restore
I'm very sorry, I meant to add a photo of what it would look like when done. Right now it has small cap screws holding it together!

Another F Fenney I plan on restoring soon.
Here is a C T Bingham, Late F Fenney blade I plan on restoring soon. It reads "In For The Prize At The Exhibition 1853" with Tally Ho & the fox in the center.

Thanked: 2284Nice blade.
Just a suggestion, I'd hit that with a little metal polish, and make sure there's no active rust and that's it. You'll save that nice big etching, and also some of that beautiful patina. Rescale in some horn, and Bobs yer uncle.
Sanding or buffing that nice old blade would be a sin. Just my opinion though.Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Buffing or sanding on an old piece like that is a no-no! Thanks.

I knocked off at 3 PM today, jumped in my lil camo golf cart and went to the mailbox and to my delight, the Greaves and Son Sheafworks razor I sniped earlier this week on Ebay was there. I drove straight back to the shop, mixed a tall Bombay Sapphire and tonic, and got to work. Obviously the scales were toast, so I removed them. I got the blade shined up and removed the major pits with 320 grit greaseless, and then polished it up with Emory, Brown Corsican, White Diamond, and jewelers rouge buffing compounds. I have several pair of new buffalo horn scales on hand for just these eventualities, fired up the 1 x 30 belt sander, fitted up the scales, got her mounted and was inside by 5:30 soaking the norton stones. With any luck I will shave with this bad boy tomorrow morning Not sure if I am getting better at this , but the gin and tonics didn't hurt ... lol
