I acquired this Balmoral as a blade only and original box. It was a rust fest but I thought it would be a good project.
When I got rid of the surface rust I discovered (caused) the large split you can see in the blade :aargh: But I am also interested in the double crucifix mark and the name of the maker-ever heard of them?
Anyne want to remove the split and have a 0.000000001/16 razor?
Close up? Can't make out too much
Only thing I found was on knife forums, seems they are a cutlery manufacturer in solingen germany est. 1856-present in a piece from a book of knife manufacturers
I presume this is what the OP is talking about. It's the first thing I noticed in the original picture.Quote:

Oh well!
As a first time thing I can chalk it up to education!

Woof, sorry to see that, sometimes you just never know til you get down to the steel. Happens to everyone at somepoint, so yeah it would be a good one to practice buffing and sanding on though.
Thats a shame. That double crucifix is a pretty cool stamp.
