I suspect that was a replacement pin Jamie - my 3000 has a conventional wedge.

Hi Rob, as the razor came to me in what I would say was a very honest and original condition, the pins were original, I would say this would be the correct set up, as the two spacers are identical, and another reason I think it's original is how well the blade sits in the scales plus I don't see any point of putting in a spacer other than they wanted it that way, because it would be just as easy to fit a wedge, and I recon if you removed the spacer and pushed the ends together I think the blade would be sitting far to high in the scales.

I like the enough to used a 3 pin setup on my first scales job

You know, I was thinking of doing the same if I ever get around to doing up another set of scales. Wedges can be a PITA to do up.

I have a 3 pin puma with a similar spacer instead of a wedge, and it is original to the razor.

strange looking with out the wedge aren't they, this is the second & third I have actually seen now, so not as unique as first thought there is a few now LOL
are these white spacers a hard celluloid or softer tyrpe materials like mine as
Celtics yours look like celluloid nearly with the shine on them
I think the reason for liking the 3rd is, like the inlays etc it just breaks the side of the blade & adds more bling factor eseccially on the black ( shiney black with shiney metal bits, always looks good)

Mine is the softer kind.
