--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wade Butcher American Razor model/Scalloped spine engraved.This razor originally had an American eagle engraved on the blade.This one had been very roughly ground in the distant past (partially removing much of the eagle engraving),so it was necessary to regrind the blade to about eigth hollow,and remove the remaining engraving,then finish to EELL mirror.This belongs to a member here,and will ship tomorrow.The spacification are below.Best regards Gary

Beautiful work as always, Gary! Thanks for sharing.
I have the honor of owning two of Gary's restorations and they are better in person than the pictures could every show.
