Jamie, what large crack ? Either your monitor screen and eyes, are better than mine, or we're looking at two different razors ......... I don't see a crack upon close examination.

I think it is a scratch more than a crack, but who knows.
Goes up from the DD inlay towards the upper side of the scales.

Here we are Jimmy, I've downloaded the image and there's probably more than one crack it's even starting to travel through the other side of the D and L , I can see two but who knows there could be a few more?

Yea, it's in average shape for those razors. Too bad when they were new and in use folks didn't know what they would be worth in present times.

I sold an absolute mint Goldedge 6/8 square point only a few months back, I would love to own a minty Lifetime Grim Reaper, but to me those scales got to be spot on, with so much metal work on them I bet there's a very high chance of cracks appearing and probably one of the reasons they are not many survivors around today.

As much as I think most "must have" razors are not that exciting, the Reapers are an absolutely iconic razor.

I think there are some other Grim Reapers that are much more affordable.

Hahahaha....well I guess some of us were asleep at the switch.

I had a watch on it, figured I wouldn't stand a chance, so wasn't that concerned...just went and looked:

It sold for $290!!!!

For a Grim Reaper, that was a steal...I mean a fine deal!

edit to add: just looked at the bids, one bidder got sniped by 12 seconds...that must of hurt!

It wasn't me this time :<0).
