Could be a fine shaver. The one thing that I notice is the scale width up close to the pivot. Looks more like what you would see on a thinner blade. JMO.
Thats a nice razor for sure. Generally speaking those W&B's are well worth the effort to clean up. Nice find!!
A great blade for restoration.
There were a few makers utilizing that type of grind at one time or another.
Nice. I don't know, those scales look right to me.
Pretty sure they are not the right scales. They open very tight
Anyone happen to know what model this is?? It is 13/16 but possibly started out at a 7/8
"Diamond Edge" maybe ?
Nice razor. It looks like with a little 0000 steel wool, some polish and a rag it would look incredible.
If you get us close up clear pics of the pins at pivot vs wedge, we can probably tellQuote:

Floss them washers too while your at it !
Tight is good and does not mean the scales are wrong. They may not be original but they are not "wrong," for the blade.
Unlikely that one has a model name or number. That was not so common to name them when that one was made. Model numbers were.more of a 20th century trend.
Yes, closer pics would be helpful.
Looking closer it seems this may be a reground Celebrated Hollow Ground or FBU. Look at the step in the tang under the stamp (red arrow).

That looks like it may have been reshaped . Also the scale looks like it might have hit the wheel or belt (green arrow).
Again hard to tell without closer pics.
Finally all put together!! Just needs honed. My very first restore wade and butcher 13/16 hump back, blue pearl acrylic scales and a fossilized mammoth ivory wedge.
