Caution: Restoration may lead to heartbreak!
While hand sanding this beautiful Boker 1056 with scalloped spine, I apparently got a little over zealous with the pressure and sand paper.
Ahhhh the frustration and aggravation! No more Spanish tip for this old girl.

It happens to the best of us. Keep plugging away and pretty soon you'll have a finished product you are really proud of.
Good luck.

My 1056 was broken similar to yours and the tip was redone before I got it.. A great shaver, with perfect scales, but no more barber's notch.

On the plus side, I now get to ponder different blade designs that will allow me to keep this beautiful specimen in service.

Man, you must have been eating your spinach.
That is heartbreaking though, sorry for your loss.
