joseph elliot restore

Joseph Elliot I saw on ebay and had to have. The scales were horn, but completely shot, so they had to go. Ill add some Red Morrell burl scales soon.

The blade reads "Joseph Elliot's Celebrated Razor", you can see where their double C logo was, but it didnt stamp properly so its barely there. The blade has a tiny crown with VR under it and reads "Universally Approved. Best Silver Steel". 7/8 at the toe, 6/8 at the heel.

I didnt want to get rid of all the pitting and make it look as new, because I think this guy has a fair bit of character with the crazy points at the end of the spine, and double thumb notch. But I did need to clean him up a fair bit.

That is a beautiful blade; you did a great job cleaning her up.

Wow very nice job on that more then I would have thought possible from the first pciture, I like the notches on that blade it is quite a looker

Man that blade is awesome!! how come I never find these for sale!? :(

Yeah! :bow

What a great looking blade :)

thanks guys. I probably overpaid on ebay for the condition it was in, but it all worked out in the end.

I only got a dremel AFTER i'd finished the sanding on it too :gaah:

cant wait to get those scales finished, sharpen her up and get a'shaving!
