I like the shield!
nothing like a green blade ron LOL
very very ( double ) nice ron !!!
Kees,
Now I can shave with my "user" CM-7 and use the new "safe queen" CM-7 as my mirror...
The top pic is with a flash and the bottom is not. Notice the difference between the two blades. The bottom knife has never been used or sharpened and the top has been sharpened enough times to diminish the belly to the degree that can be seen in these two pictures. The bottom one is pristine! And it's mirror polished blade is a testament to Mr. A.G. Russell's pride when he owned the Hen & Rooster trademark. These two knives were both made in 1979 in the old Bertram plant before it closed in 1980. They are both exquisite!
I like the way you think, Kees! lol
......so there is a razor ... and when you wake up you can use the other as a mirror
great !
Kees,
I'm still awaiting my Postman with the CM-6 with the "groovy stag." But in the past 24 hours I have also acquired two more A.G. Russell era "Bertram" Hen & Roosters. Both in mint condition and both numbered under 1000. I hope their previous owners don't mind me giving you a glimpse using their photographs?
First - A sparkling CM-6 #718...
and next is this beautiful CM-7 #381...
groovy looking stag indeed !!
you will sleep as a happy man tonight ron !!
Kees,
You nailed it! I am really excited to get the CM-6! Tracking has it arriving in the mail tomorrow, but I'm so anxious I'm gonna post a teaser shot of it now...
I believe it was made in 1976? Definitely from Mr. Russell's period with H&R - The tang stamp is "Bertram." It will compliment my Frost era Ivory Micarta version...
Which, as you can see, is called a "261 MI" but is essentially a CM-6 Coffin Jack, but that's where the similarities end. Comparing the CM-6 to the 261MI is like comparing a Cadillac to a Chevrolet - Both good cars that will get you to where you're going, but the quality of the Cadillac is apparent just as soon as you get in and sit down. It's the same with these two knives. They're both good knives. The CM-6 is the Cadillac, however!
