I picked up this Gem on the Bay for 5 bucks plus shipping. Nobody else bid on it so I got it for the opening price. The pictures I'm going to share are after a little dish soap and tooth brushing. This thing turned out in great shape with just a couple of scratches. without polish, it gleams like a mirror.
Anyway, My question is... Would you call this a Closed Comb Damaskeene?
It has a curved top cap.
The Handle is what I've seen on other Damaskeene.
Patn 1912 like all others and not a Junior.
It seems like it will hold a standard SE Blade as I use in all my other Gems.
So what is the verdict? Just another Standard Gem with a different handle from 1919 or not?
My main reason for asking is I don't have a Damaskeene in my collection of 11 gems. 12 as of now.
Sorry for the lint and dust in the pics.
