After looking for some time, and bidding without success, I finally snagged a Wade & Butcher I could afford (I've blown too much lately).
I took a flyer. The photos on ebay were not that good, but I ended up with a 15/16th barber notch quarter grind with black bone scales. Unique filigree engraving on the blade (looks gold, but is not. My poor photography.) I really don't think the blade has been honed previously. Scales had some scratches, but no worm holes. A few minor shallow pits, mostly on the blade reverse. All I've done, and all I'm going to do, is polish with MAAS. Now I'm pretty much set.
