Thread: very early W&B

following pic of a very early W&B wedge(note the marking on the shank , crown over VR,I`m not 100% sure but I believe early 1800 S,correct me if I`m wrong ) it was all pitted very badly so I re-ground it to get nearly all the pitting out ,however on the reverse side there is still a couple of very small marks ,however I didn`t want to grind any more away for fear of drastically altering the shape of the wedge and the weight and feel of the blade
I`m going to shoe this one with the MOP scales I`m working on have taken a couple of picks and made a mock up of the finished article
The blade has been rubbed too 2000 grit but still has to be buffed
Kind regards Peter
