Just to go a little OT, I had a Winchester razor with plastic scales that was pinned washerless.
Good point, Oz. I feel that back in the days of ivory scaled razors, being pinned collarless was a sign of fine workmanship.
Hand done by craftsmen. I have many old Bakelite and bone scales peened such. As later ones such as your Winchester and many Gencos, Cases, etc with plastic scales, the process was not done by hand, IMO. Cheaper and faster to do it with whatever type of machine they used. I feel it was done 'whack' on those .
Collarless peens on old ivory scales are nothing like on Gencos and the like in my eye!
