Thread: Is this Really a Filarmonica??

Been here long enough to have seen some really nice Filly's, stunning razors, was just jumping around E-Bay checking them out, and this one kind of stood out as, "never seen one that looked like that", hmmmmmmmm?

Any opinions on this Filarmonica 7/8 Doble Temple, if that's what it is?

Pretty sure the last of them had that etch on the blade.

Yes, the later models had that etching. Seems Legit

No tang stamp either? Interesting, not for me either way...my opinion only, but the Filly's I've seen here are some really spectacular looking blades...those #14's, #13's etc., are stunning.

The late Ray Dupont picked up the last 400 of those going back a few years. They were heavy and the hardest of the Fil's to sharpen. OK shavers, but I freaked at the guys Buy it Now price for that one. Oh well......

Have fun

Yea, the blades may be spectacular but you have to get by the rather mundane scales.

I've still got one of those. The blades were just fine, but certainly not spectacular.

I have one too. The buy it now is pretty steep. It's not much different than my stamped ones.

I guess the peanut gallery didn't like my auction eh?

The razor sold for what it was worth which is a bit more than I paid for it which was the intention from the start.

And yes it's a very good shaver and a genuine Filly.

it ended at a very awkward time for me. Didn't watch it, and as such didn't bid. Sadly I paid more for mine.
