Thread: looking forward to this one but need a little advice

I managed to snipe this one off a sniper, I was bidding on three. The sniper got the other two but I think this one is the best of the bunch. In terms of rust etc this is by far the best one I've bought. Here is the razor but I have a few questions if any one would be able to help with them it would be very much appreciated



First question is about the scales. They are deffinatly not plastic or anything man made. I think they are bone of some sort. Would this be right ? Below is a closer image of the material



Picture of the blade



That bit of rust is the only real damage on the blade itself but I don't think that is any real concern. Other than that it looks almost new and there doesn't appear to really have any hone wear.

The make of this razor is "Carl Eickhorn Soligen". I have done a search but the only thing I can find is that the company made bayonets but nothing on making razors. Does anyone know anything about this razor ?

The lady question lol . I have taken the tops off the pins and the washers however I'm having some difficulty getting the bloody thing apart and I don't want to damage tgem. It is almost like they are glued in (which they might be?). Does anyone have any tips to get the things apart ? Both sides have had the peening and washers removed to just leave the pin itself.

Thanx guys for any help, its my first natural scaled razor so I'm looking forward to getting it ship shape and shave with it
