I won a ERN crown and sword described as minty.on closer inspection the blade was very loose it wasn`t centered,the scales were slightly warped,I may be wrong but vintage razors have brass pins ,these were very hard ,what looks to be stainless. So after reading the forumsI thought I would tighten her up a tad, as you dont want the blad swinging around in the air,well I don`t anyway.Bet you can guess what happened ,one buggered handle.
So back to the forums and I will be starting on the scale making adventure in the morning,let you know how I go
Kind regards Peter
