Tom

i haven't picked it up yet,will be on monday.but i have seen those scales a few times on the forum here..,

I have seen those type of scales, on many brands of razors. They were intended for traveling, I believe. A lot of times there is a matching hollow cover, that slides over that razor/scales, and fits flush with the larger bottom section. Kind of like a toothbrush case.

ok, thank you..

Here is a Similar Design Traveling SR with the Sheath or Hollow Cover that Scott is Talking About..

Billy..

very cool,thank you..

its a holeka 50 solingen and looks to be in very good condition..

Looking good Gary... love the look of that blade! Congrats!

thank you Tom.research has said the are 1930s and came in 7 day sets and others,with different scales ..good,bad,junk?

if anyone has a spare sheath it would be cool,or recommend a rescale?..i am a newbie with this stuff..

Not junk. Most Solingen blades are well made. If you have some nice scales you want to put it in, by all means, transplant it. I say this because you might be waiting a while to find a matching sheath. OR, if you are set on keeping it a traveling razor, keep an eye out, on Ebay, for a complete travel razor, with a broken blade. I have seen them.

..

thank you sir.it is in my display case for present time so i will keep my eyes peeled.i like the size and shape so i am glad there are options.i appreciate your advice..

Wade and Butcher I cleaned up and put scales on for the first time. I know there's plenty of mistakes but I'm still pretty proud that's why I put my initials and that it was the first one. I know once I get the proper tools and try a few more times I'll get better.

Just sayin, when you die, you'd better have someone who knows what they're doing in charge of your museum- I mean collection, or all heck's gonna break loose!

And another thing... You keep bringing out these impossibly shiny razors and I keep falling down! One of us has got to knock it off!

My NOS C.V Heljestrand Eskilstuna Mark 32 6/8th Arrived from Germany Today..Its Shave Ready & Been Finished on a 20 K Suehiro Gokumyo Stone..But I Am Not Gonna Shave with it Until I Put a Natural Edge on it.Maybe a Escher Thuringian or a Surgical Black Arkansas..Choices.. I Dont Find the 20 K Suehiro Gokumyo Edges to be that Much Different to a 12 K Super Stone..Nor as Sharp as an Escher Thuri for that Matter..
