Just picked this up at a car boot sale, does anyone know anything about the maker? It says M Hyman (Solingen) on the tang, and has "HAMBURG RING, German hollow ground" engraved on the blade.
Is it worth restoring at all? Has some minor dings (no majors) to the blade edge and a couple of patches of rust on the shank and the spine. Scales are I think bakelite or cellulose and have some minor chips.
Excuse my ignorance but I have no experience of straights, this was literally pocket change though so I couldn't leave it sat there.
Thanks for any help.
