I have no idea what this is. But I scored it for under $25.00 (inc postage)
These are the vendors pics and I will post more when I get It :D

Bongo, interesting.
Be sure to post pics when it arrives especially after you have shaved with it.
Cheers.
Good looking razor at a fair price! I am a fan of 1/4 grind razors myself. Should clean up quite nicely and be a good shaver.
I'm really curious. This should get me updates to the thread.
Interesting Razor!
I agree with Shooter, fair price. I just wish that those that don't have a clue about straight razors wouldn't use 'gravel' (80 grit sandpaper or such) to supposedly 'clean up' a blade! That just makes more work for those that are careful and truly care about what the razor will look like when it's back in the saddle once again!
That should be a nice looking razor when you are done with it!
I'm looking forward to hearing about the progress and how it shaves!
I also hope someone can help with the identification of the origins.
I say it's Fwench! Looks good! Does not seem to have lots of wear. :D
It arrived today and I'm happy.
The pics are bad (I know) but I spent 10 minutes polishing this.
There will be more (and better) pics when it's shave ready :) !!

Looks Nice!
Chev,
It looks quite small in the hand and the scales need to be unpinned and straightened (somehow !)
The vendors pics are quite misleading (no intention I'm sure). Where the "tip" of the blade tries to fit in the
scales, there is a quite pronounced deformity where the scales and the wedge are supposed to meet.
The wedge is deformed from years of "forcing" the blade "home" .
Nevertheless, this is a razor I'm happy to work on :D
Does that make sense ?
