    Looks great, Richard, but is not a frameback but a 'rattler grind'!

    Just spent several hours sanding and polishing some of what I thought were the original scales for this Greaves. Made a pivot bushing, pinned the bottom. Time for a test-fit. Nope. I had pulled the wrong scales!
    Found the right ones! Starting over. Oh well, a head start on a Stenton for later! Too much crap lying around!

    Thanks Tom. I originally thought it was a rattler grind but wasn't sure. Since they seem similar, what makes them different from each other? An impoverished, inquiring mind wants to know.

    A matter of finesse then. Would it also be in the shape of the spine that helps decide where among the three it goes?

    No. Look at them. Frameback is two-piece. Spine and tang are one, blade is another. Faux is also two piece. One piece blade and tang, slide-on spine is another. Rattler is a solid one-piece razor. Wide spine, thin grind.

    Here's an end view of the razor that was found on Iwo Jima. The picture doesn't show it but when held in hand you can see where there had been a slot cut for the blade to fit into and then mechanically secured.

    I hope that this helps clarify the confusion.
