That's an awesome razor! Makes you wonder why they would use that photo in the first place thought right?

I didn't get it at a steal of a price but I'd guess the deep crisp etching and scale stamps would have commanded a higher price if showcased properly.

Yes...the scales are in simply amazing condition as well!

There is some very mild warping and a couple of small pits in the front but they are quite nice.

Now don't be a whiner, you can't have everything. Says he jealously.

Didn't someone get a blade and clean and hone it up and then realize it was the wrong one and sent it back?
I KNOW I just read about it but I forgot who it was.

Maybe this was the one????

Hart,

The Ebay gods smiled on you. You always run the risk that the razor you received is different from the one portrayed in the photo(s). Sometimes the difference can be to your detriment. For instance, I won a Filarmonica Especial 13 a while back, and the razor arrived with a 1-2mm vertical crack in the middle of the blade that even the closeup photos (which were not of the best quality) did not show. In your case, it is always nice when the seller fails to properly photograph how nice the razor is. It is certainly possible that there would have been more bidders and the razor would have gone for a higher price if the photo you shared was used instead for the auction. Well photographed razors almost always fetch a premium.
