    Default Solingen 5/8 with worked spine

    Got this one from ebay.
    I bought it because I like those worked spines.
    Also because this razor resembles one I already have.
    I posted this razor here Got these 3 in my mail today (First razor)

    The blade has an engraved 'etch' and a worked spine.
    The tang only says 'garantie solingen'.
    On the scales there is a silver inlay piece with the text 'Solingen'.

    The 'etch' probably had some gold and dark coloring in its young days.
    Would I leave it as it is or would I try to fill the engraved itch with some coloring?

    That is gorgeous! Needs nothing but honing and use. Looks like it might be a very good shaver to me.
