    The 'Bengall. brand was sold in the far East and Australasia, so it a rare brand in Europe/America. In Oz they were a dominant force in the market.
    I don't own one, but they have an excellent reputation as being very fine shavers.

    Most Bengalls I have seen have come in black bakelite handles and very few have designs stamped on the tang. So you have managed to score a rare version of a razor that is uncommon (in world terms) to begin with.

    $20 is about the going rate for razors in decent condition but in need of restoration, although antique shops will usually try to tell you differently.

    For pins go down to your local hobby store and ask for 1/16 inch brass rod.
