Dovo Fritz Bracht 14

Next

Very possibly an extremely rare straight razor from Dovo; manufactured during the Fritz Bracht era, perhaps in the 1940s, this blade’s width measures a hair over 15/16”; most definitely this was a full 8/8” originally. The scales are original, as are the wedge, the wedge pin/collar, and the 3rd pin assembly. The scales show stress cracks near the pivot – see last pic. The original pin was removed, and a brass thrust washer was epoxied into place on the inside to provide support. The fissures were stabilized by allowing adhesive to penetrate into the cap. Another thrust washer was installed on the opposite side of the blade, and a new nickel silver pivot pin from Dovo keeps the assembly snug, and centered.
