The pins are brass. Quite honestly I'm not sure of the collar material since I used what came off it. Feels (and were rusted) like steel, but not sure of the exact makeup. Maybe someone else knows

I figured that you had managed to salvage the washers/collars, was that the look you were going for or just what you had on hand. Lead would have been to soft for use in that capacity and besides had they been, they would have been destroyed in the removal process.

Yeah the goal was to reuse everything if I could. New scales and hardware would look spiffy but I'm happy it all was salvageable. I think it gives a nice age to it. However I could to a better job at cleaning the hardware up Originally Posted by guitstik

The collars are steel. Looks great!

I rest my case.

Good ups on the brass sleeving. I have to do it on every razor that's ore 1890. Not sure if its the method they used to punch the hole or the pin wears the steel over time. The whole razor looks amazing. Originally Posted by RoyalCake

They used to punch them thru while hot & hole size was "variable". Originally Posted by ncraigtrn

You will also notice old razors have a large gap between toe & wedge .
The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
