Pretty little swedish thing
I just got a few razors in the mail, and one of them was a very charming, small faux frameback of swedish make. Stats: C. W. Dahlgren, Eskilstuna. 5/8 wide, stamped Garanti, 1878.87.86. I popped it out of the scales since it needed a good clean around the pivot area. I was rubbing the blade when I discovered the faux frameback was in fact loose - it is a tube like thing that only slides in over the back of the blade. It sits snug enough when in place, I suppose, but I still think this should be adressed? What would have been the original solution? It really is nice, and not exactly last's years model either, so I want to keep it as pristine as I can. Scales are also very nice, horn I think, with a lead wedge. I kept the original washers as well, but might add another to prevent further problems in that area (washers are very thin and the scales are tight enough that crud could build up in there)

I never encountered a straight like this before, so thought it best to get some advice from you folks in the know-how.
