Ok, so here are the restores I mentioned in a previous thread. Right out of the box
Paid about 5 USD for the whole set, so I think I got quite a sweet deal
S. Gustafsson
Not sure about scale materials, probably bone. Just need some polish and honing and then ready to go!
Bengall
Slightly warped bakelite scales. Will tr to steam them straight. Blade will need some sanding and honing, but all in all in good shape!
SSA
Bakelite scales. light cleaning of blade and maybe repinning so i can clean off rust around the pivot pin. Edge still in good shape.
Heljestrand Frameback
IVORY scales!! Sweet!! No rust around the pin I think and the scales are nice so i will try to restore this without removing and damaging the ivory. Edge have some mm deep hacks so it will take some time on the DMT CX to fix the edge. Should be a great shaver after that!
Heljestrand No 2
Bakelite scales, edge will have to meet Dr DMT XC before honing. Unfortunately rust around the pivot pin so I might have to repinn it.
CV Dahlgren
Very rusty. Edge looks ok, but I should keep an eye there, it might be too bad to salvage. Probably bone edge. Will need lots of work
Two totally damaged George Butler
with 7 day box and ivory scales. Ill obviously need throw the blades, but the scales will be reused. maybe I will sell the box if someone want to complete a 7day set. It will not handle the weather here well.
