yea..i love original straight razor myself too..BUT..if u look closely at the top pics..u will see the letters on the scales were damaged and created sharp points which woulda hurt plenty..well...so long as my new razor gets passed down to me n my wife's boy's to use..thats all that matters ;-)

Can you link me to said site, coz I have a blade mid restore and I am yet to find the perfect furniture. She came in ash but I am sure she deserves something a little more glamorous.
