I’ve had this beauty for quite some time and paid a premium for it. Out of the 7 Case razor listings this is one of the more valuable. Etching, MOP, scale. More so.
Spotted it a while ago and prayed against all odds. Separated it from my others . Cleaned it ( hope springs eternal, but I knew) and lo and behold the dreaded gassing of scales.
The pattern of rust repeated matching the scales. If you look closely there is less rust where the white stripes are even though they’re very thin. The more pigment the less gassing.
Time to restore and rescale.
