That looks like its going to be a sweet razor once its cleaned up..! :)
I love the way the scales are held together at one end with a screw lol! I dont need no modern pins, I gots me a woodscrew. :D
Man, do I wish I was coming to that meet now..!
That'll be one sweet shaver when she's done.
#1 What's the plan for the scales?
#2 How much does it weigh??
Horn
oooooh... that's going to be a nice one. Can't wait to see what you do Glen.
I hope you're planning on dressing it in something that looks like it could have been made in the time the blade was manufactured. I would love to see that old blade fixed back up to it's original glory.
I have a PM in to the 3 guys that might be able to get me some info on the Maker so I have some ideas of what I might do, but nothing definite yet... Right now I have some very dense Thuya Burl layed up for scales but haven't made up my mind yet if I am even using it ..:)
I have it polished out but still have some very minor pitting showing, so I might leave it, or might go a bit heavier and try and take it all out....
That looks like its going to be a fun one to restore. I'm sure it'll make a nice before and after comparison.
that spalted maple it is sitting on in the pictures might make some nice scales.
You going to keep us in suspense until the meet?

Hi Glen - haven't found anything useful, really, other than there was an Ironmerchant of that name in Redruth, Cornwall, England. His premises were burned down in 1890, but the business had been there for generations.Quote:
