Gentlepeople,
here is a place to bask in all the feline glory of the big cats. Pumas, Lions, Tigers, ect. Whatever sleeps in your collection and purrs.

[syslight]

My first offering here is a recent e-bite steal... ~$10.50 just a few weeks ago... she aint big but she is sweet.
as you can see there is still some staining on the toe but not anyplace critical.

[Garry]

Ahhh so my Tiger is of the same family then .. I'll get some pics posted asap , it's still in a bad way but I don't want to risk losing the gold wash .. woohoo

[Sandcounty]

This probably isn't the "lion" that you're referring to, but I'll include this one here anyway. It's a Lion Freres Thielt, a hair over 7/8. One of my many ebay scores (mistakes?). The seller neglected to mention the significant warping of the blade . And, as with all my straights, it is a before picture (presuming I'll get to the after).

[Sandcounty]

Here's the other side of the tang. It is at least an interesting razor.

i think that is the secret to the make up of the universe stamped there on the back.

And yes this is what we are looking for.... any kind of cat!

In that case it was pretty cheap. Seriously though, if any of you were outbid on this razor you should be able to find comfort in the fact that I will never be able to hone this curved blade.
Takin one for the team, Sand

Here's my Tiger to add to the feline collection

[Kees]

Looks very much like a Puma.

[syslight]

Garry that is a nice tiger... but you are going to lose a lot of the gold when you restore it.

[Garry]

Yeah , a lot of the wash is off .. I'm in two minds whether to try and take the little black pits out or just leave them . I've had the razor for about 2yrs in the 'to do' box . It honed up nice last night but I had to tape the spine , theres a lot of hone wear near the toe .. I might just give the scales a good clean and see what a few polishes with 'peek ' ( uk version of Maas ) does to the metal ..

Kees .. I think they're made by the same company , it was the resemblance that caught my eye last Saturday night , especially with some of the pums which say 'best puma steel '

[2Sharp]

does a snake qualify? How about a W.H. Morley & Sons Rattler.

[syslight]

Nice snake but that would be better in a menagerie. I had thought about setting one up as a place to put the dancing bears, deer and what i think is a bee... feel free to make such a room!

[reddobie]

6/8 Puma # 1938

[syslight]

Reddobie nice blade... a shame you lost your condom

[Garry]

That sure is a fine looking razor ...........

Ok surely someone else has a Tiger -- I'm curious about mine and would like some info on them ..

Garry

[syslight]

Not a tiger in sight here but how about another Puma?

[syslight]

the rest of the puma 39 pictures.

[bj64]

Grrrrrrr... Apparently my Italian friend had to break the seal on the cage for this one.

[syslight]

that is such a nice looking blade. thanks
