Thread: A gift worth mentioning, and saving.

I received the below from a member on here and had to share. I'm appreciative on a couple of levels actually. Firstly, look at it! Its an early 1800s Greaves for goodness sake. Secondly, it was unexpected, unsolicited kindness/thoughtfulness on a level that I personally didn't expect to experience any more as my circle of friends draws predictably smaller with age.
Renews once sense of altruism and community for sure, as I really am indebted with gratitude. inspired to restore it without f--king it up too! But that goes without saying.


So now its time to decide the best course of action. Scale was removed intact and does not seem damaged or cracked, and looks appropriate to the period. If not original, pretty good fit. Lots of deep rust at the pin, and pits on her sides but she's a thick, true wedge razor.
I can't wait to see what she looks like cleaned up..
and I can't say this enough...
Thanks Phrank! I will try to do it proud.
Cheers.
