I found a local antique store that has a Dubl Duck Goldedge, 6/8 i believe, with most of the gold plating intact on the tang, almost no hone wear and very clean, but had very (and I mean very small) chips in the edge at the heel. I almost didn't see it until I looked really close. The shop owner had it priced at $78.50 and I had him talked down to $65. The other razor I was interested in was a Crown & Sword 7/8 Extra Hollow in good shape, would need to be cleaned, had rust on the tang where it pivots in the scales, and had very minor rust on the edge ( and only the edge/bevel) at about the front 1/2" of the toe. This one was priced at $48.50. I was more interested in the Dubl Duck but got him down to $100 for the pair. So we'll say the Crown & Sword is $35 by itself.
So does this sound like a good deal even with the work involved in getting them shave ready? I realize pictures would help but I didn't think of that until I left the shop. Thanks for any advice in advance.
