the blade is in great shape, have you restored it or cleaned it? the design is very similair to one of mine. one question, do you use mineral oil to protect the blades , any hints?

Hi Mavi , I'm sure the blade has had a polish , but that was before I acquired it . Unfortunately the cartouche was either etched or polished off ; this could be a problem for you if you decide to have the blade polished .
