Where ever it came from it's a very nice looking blade.
Congratulations on the restoration. What did you make that spacer wedge with?
Grant

Looks great; waiting for the shave report!

Hi Bruce, The purple heart scales match the blade nicely.

Sam

The blade looks like a shaver! Nice work!

Great restore. +1 on Grant's question, what is the wedge material? Is it brass?

The wedge material. It's steel actually. I was originally going to use a solid copper wedge but I didnt think it looked right. The wedge is actually 2 piece of steel glued together.

It was what I had at the time.

According to Lummus, Packwood would be circa 1828.

Thanks. I had done some looking and had gotten dates of late 1700's to early 1800's. Seemed to be a lot of grey area as to the Packwoods.

Well done Bruce, Good restore lovely looking scales.
