Hey guys, I'm still an SR noob, but coming along nicely. I currently have 1 New Boker (Arbolito), another new Boker (Elite) sitting at the post office waiting to be delivered, an 1850-1890 Geo Wostenholm & Son from the classifieds here sold by wolfpack34, and a 1900-1930 Worcester also from wolfpack, but have been looking for a razor to try my hand at restoring. I wanted something that was in fairly good restorable shape to start with, but at a decent price in case I don't do a very good job.

Here is what I came up with:











Wow, I just noticed while uploading these pix that there are no pix of the back side of the blade. I can't believe I didn't notice that before. Hope that isn't a costly rookie mistake.

Anyway, I paid $30 shipped. Do you think I got a fair price? Assuming the back side of the blade is similar to the front, does this look like a good candidate for a restore? I plan to do all the sanding/polishing by hand.

Any thoughts or advice would be much appreciated.

By the way, any guesses as to the era this came from? I'm guessing that from the style of the engraving on the tang, that it's early/mid 1900s, but purely a guess.

Thanks,
Murf
