If the price was right, I'd give it a go.
Would I shave with it? Mebbe.
Would I buy it? No.
Would I be seen in public with it? Hell no...

Yes, being seen in public with it is a problem
I've been seen around town with worse. At least that's what I'm told.
Here’s a car I like but it was rear ended.
Here’s a beautiful Armani suit but the sleeve is missing but it’s a good price
Here’s a keyboard but some of the keys are missing.
A nice dresser but missing a drawer.
Need I go on? If you don’t mind something half A$$ed and that’s your threshold , buy it. If I’m spending money then I want the real thing , complete.
Just my take on it. I can easily ruin it on my own. I don’t pay for others mistakes.
I’ll wait and buy the real thing or simply pass. Why waste money, time and effort on an inferior product just to think you own it. To me, doesn’t make sense.
You have your heart set on something, May take some time but set aside $10 each paycheck. Look for a good example. Buy the real thing . You’ll be happier in the long run.
Don’t buy some busted piece of sh*T thinking you got the real thing. To me , that’s nonsense.

I think it is pretty cool! I would not pay a lot of money for it but would rather that than a gold dollar/similar razors. If the balance was not weird when stropping I would make it a test razor most likely.
I'd buy that for a dollah, ...... and slice me bananas with it 
Sure! Why not?
Most of the shave is done with the 2/3 of the blade at the toe anyway. That will make a good shaver.

I had one like this I tried to turn into a monkey tail. I ground down were the pivot hole was to get rid of the hole and extend the tang into a monkey tail. I made the heel more slanted for aesthetic. What stopped me was drilling a new pivot hole. I spent a few drill bits on it without making much of a dent.
I'm suspicious if the temper was preserved between the grinding and the polishing.
There's something that looks like a dried string of glue
between the ends of the pin at the end of the scales.
I don't like it.

It should be fine, but the seller probably wants Filly prices for it. It isn't a Filly anymore. Now it is just a shorty. For $10, BUY it if you need another razor. For much more than that, let somebody else have it. If you get it, you might want to rework the heel and shank a bit, but maybe that's just me. It's a great piece of steel, and IF YOU LIKE SHORTIES, you will like it just fine. The thing is, these salvage shorties are not in high demand, and have a lot more eager sellers than eager buyers.
you need tungsten tipped masonry drills in a drill press to burn your way through.
If met her in a bar, I wouldn't offer to buy her a drink.
Maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me, but in the third picture, if you divide the blade into the thirds, the 1/3 looks good and straight, the 2/3 looks like it's gradually sloping towards the heel, and the 3/3 is gone.
To be honest, unless it was dirt cheap, I'd save my money and keep hunting

I’d give her a go if the price was right. I landed this Grelot with a similar repair. Luckily, it was done correctly and she’s a keeper.
Pass.
The later it gets, the better they look!
