Just pulled the pin on a George Buttler "Shakespeare" SR, listed on eBay AU. The vendor couldn't tell me much about this SR so all I really have to go on is the pics of the actual item supplied by the vendor.
The blade appears to be in good condition and the scales could even be of ivory.
George Buttler SR's seem to sell for between about USD 20 to USD 200 or more depending on condition and scales material so my purchase price of a little under USD 80 plus USD 8 shipping appears reasonable. I have a couple of weeks to wait for delivery and then I'll see what I actually get. Might be interesting.
As most classic scholars here would know, the Shakespearean quote of the blade face comes from Love's Labour's Lost, Act 4, Screen II where Boyet says "The tongues of mocking wenches are as keen as is the razor's edge invisible, ....".
