DAMASCUS - WESTER BROS - GERMANY - 9/16 - 1/2 HOLLOW
This is a sweet looking vintage straight razor in extremely good condition.
The blade is extremely shiny, clean with no rust, cracks, chips, stains or disturbing stains.
Maybe a few remaining residual micro surface pits which are hardly noticeable and don't affect anything.
Blade and scales have been cleaned and polished.
Blade measures 9/16 towards the heel and just a tad under 5/8 towards the toe side.
Spike point (can be muted at buyer's request)
Blade's cutting edge: 2.75 inches
Total weight: 1.2oz
On the front shank it says: Damascus
On the back it says: Wester Bros - Germany
The bottom part of the shank has ribbed jimps.
Scales are not warped and straight but blade has a tendency to close very slightly to the right side of the scales. Not really a big issue at all but worth mentioning.
Extremely nice condition and example of a Wester Bros - Damascus
Wester Bros was located in New-York: 1904-1967 Originally founded in 1891 as Jacoby & Wester. Wester Bros sold imported shaving products made by Wester & Butz, Solingen, Germany (1832)
