Thread: Ern ATOR on the bench today

There’s at least one photo in the SRP Razor database.

Incidentally, most (if not all) ATOR razors have the model number stamped on the tang, the same number is also molded on the inside of the scales. The 6/8th model having the numbers “G.M. 142302 68”, and the 5/8th model having the numbers “G.M. 142302 58”.

It is a shame about the scales; it would have been nice to have originals preserved. But I must admit, the blade is restored close to original considering the tarnishing it had.

Yes exactly, look right under the "O" they seem to be almost pushed inward there, like either they got hot or perhaps not a good original mold seal???? not sure if these were "Molded" when they were made, I would imagine they were...

Honestly though, I probably would have pulled them anyway, since it is my razor and they do really nothing for me, I happen to like bright colored scales, I will save them on the bench just in case somebody needs them, who likes them...
