I am thinking of picking up an old Greaves razor form a local antique mall and trying my hand at restoration. The blade looks pretty good, no rust on the bade and the scales seem in good condition - old yellow cellulid, I think.

How do I get the original pins out? the wedge end s simple enought - I'll just snip those, but what about the tang end of the blade - do I drill the pin out? file the peened pin end?

thanks

Barry
