Really happy with this even though it needs help. Double notch rodgers are hard to come by.

That's a really nicely preserved set. I hope that it's OK for me to add a little information. In the mid 1920's the Swedish/French businessman Magnus Kindal bought the Heljestrand company after having cooperated with them for a few years. The M.K. marking on some Heljestrand products is Magnus Kindal's initials. Kindal also liked to add flair to his products hence the three crowns that is Sweden's royal coat of arms symbolising the three original Swedish kingdoms that were united to one at the end of the Viking era. Once again a very nice set, thank you for sharing.I know this is not a SR but thought some would appreciate seeing. A C.V. Heljestrand Seven Day Set imported by Magnus Kindal of Paris. Complete with all parts, blades, strop, and directions for use on onion paper

This one will come back to life. How much visible experience do you want to leave with this great razor?Sweet project! That should be a ton of fun to bring back. And I predict that the results will be simply stellar.

It not only o.k.— look forward to the knowledge that you can share

Looks Amazing!! Is it the date that decides to scales ie ivory or not??Every now and then this really nice man, whose family owned the Heljestrand company, puts out a few razors from his inheritance for sale. I've got a few of my gems from him, but these days I mostly don't bid. However once in awhile I do and this time it resulted in a Heljestrand M.K. No.31 that's as NOS as can be. I'm contemplating putting this one in the safe to give to my cub as a heirloom when the day comes.

In a way yes. Between 1939 and mid 1945 the Swedish import was very restricted. Only goods of strategic importance was allowed to be shipped in. Swedish sailors died to transport it. Between 1945 and 1947 there were strict import restrictions, no luxury items were imported. In 1949 selling ivory was made illegal. So if you find a Swedish razor in ivory scales you can be pretty sure that it was made prior to September 1 1939, or shortly after when the stock of ivory ran out.Looks Amazing!! Is it the date that decides to scales ie ivory or not??
Fresh in from a good friend of mine.....this beautiful Red Point.
